Busy at Planned Parenthood; Many Announcements

Dear Friends,

Many thanks to The Servants of Our Lady of Guadalupe and Father Sasse for a wonderful retreat last weekend at Durward's Glen.  All who attended were blessed with thought-provoking meditations by Father Sasse, Liturgy of the Hours, Confession, and Holy Mass.  The meals were great and the accomodations comfortable.  Join us next year for this annual event to recharge your battery as you battle for life out on the sidewalk! 

The parking lot at Planned Parenthood was a busy one last week.  Show the abortion workers your resilience and perseverance in the 365 for Life campaign as you did during 40 Days for Life.  We will not quit until they do!  Prayer for the babies and mothers as we await the birth of Our Lord is a beautiful way to prepare during Advent.  Can you go to vigilforlife.org and commit to an hour or more a month?  You can also contact info@vigilforlife.org.  This week is filled - Praise God!  Next week there are hours open on Wednesday, 12/12, and Thursday, 12/13.  If you can't come at the sign-up times, please come when you can; you may change a heart for life!  Thank you for your prayerful witness!


Empty Manger Caroling Scheduled for Wednesday, 12/19/12

Join us for the third annual Empty Manger Caroling on Wednesday, 12/19/12, at 5:00 p.m. on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood. The purpose of this event is two-fold: to bring joy to a place of great sadness through the carols we sing and to point to the "empty mangers" in our day and age due to the destruction of abortion.
