Mark Your Calendars for the August Monday Evenings On the Lawn

Every Monday evening at 7PM we will pray the Rosary, sing songs of praise, hear the word of God and share fellowship. Where? On the Rectory lawn (bring your own chair and maybe a dessert) In case of rain, we will meet in the church.

SUNDAY SCHOOL - More than one person said we need Sunday School. We would like to take this space this week to brag about a program that has existed for a good many years. During the school year, there is a Sunday School program that is run on Sunday during the 9:00 am mass. This program, manned by many dedicated volunteers uses the “new” school building.

Children are dropped off before mass and picked up afterward. While the parents and older siblings attend the “family” mass, the children learn about God and Jesus. They prepare and present a Christmas pageant during December. Through arts, crafts, songs, and lessons they learn of God’s love for them. If you have a child not yet in first grade, watch the bulletin in September or contact the Religious Education Office in the Fall.

In 1984, then President Ronald Reagan said: “When the lives of the unborn are snuffed out, they often feel pain, pain that is long and agonizing.” (N .Y. Times, January 31, 2004.)

This provoked a public reaction from pro-abortion circles and a response from an auspicious group of professors, including pain specialists and two past presidents of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

They strongly backed Mr. Reagan and produced substantial documentation. Excerpts of their letter (2/13/84) to him included these words:

“Real time ultrasonagraphy, fetoscopy, study of the fetal EKG (electrocardiogram) and fetal EEG (electroencephalogram) have demonstrated the remarkable responsiveness of the human fetus to pain, touch, and sound. That the fetus responds to changes in light intensity within the womb, to heat, to cold, and to taste (by altering the chemical nature of the fluids swallowed by the fetus) has been exquisitely documented in the pioneering work of the late Sir William Lily – the father of fetology.”

Willke, J & B, Abortion: Questions and Answers

Today, on the Fourth of July, this quote from our President, George W. Bush, may be appropriate:

“As Americans, we are led by the power and history of our country and by our consciences to defend and promote the dignity and rights of ALL people. Each person, however defenseless, has a place and purpose in this world.”

PREGNANCY CRISIS HOTLINE—We are here to help you. Please call 981.6888.
