Parish Highlights
You are warmly invited to join us for an hour of prayer and pro-life witness at the Town Fountain this year on Respect Life Sunday, October 4, from 1:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m. During this pandemic, as concern for health and safety has risen, abortions continue at an alarming rate. Thousands of lives are taken by abortion every day in this country, and on Respect Life Sunday, we assemble at the fountain to show the community peacefully that we stand with the most vulnerable and voiceless among us. We will meet by the fountain and socially distance in the surrounding area. Masks must be worn for public safety and to reinforce our pro-life commitment to the community. Signs (your choice) will be given to you.
Call Rhonda Dougherty 784-7616 for more information.
