These Saturdays, the youth will have the opportunity to participate in an international pro-life movement of the Catholic Church called Helpers of God's Precious Infants. We will begin with Mass at the Cathedral of the Assumption in Louisville, KY at 7:00 a.m. Mass is followed by a procession, while praying the rosary and singing, to the abortion mill on 2nd & Market. We then process back to the Cathedral to end the prayers with Benediction. After our early morning of prayers, the youth and the adults enjoy breakfast and activities in the Louisville area.
These Saturdays, we go straight to the Louisville abortion mill and pray. We stand in peaceful protest from 7:00-8:00a.m., praying the rosary and singing hymns. After prayer, we attend Mass and then have breakfast and activities in the Louisville area.
On the Saturday before Mother's Day, hundreds of people are praying at the Louisville abortion mill. The prayerful witness for life is powerful! On this particular Saturday, we will again be going straight down to the abortion mill from 7:00-8:30a.m. We will be praying ever more earnestly for all mothers and especially mothers and the others considering playing a part in the murder of a child. Afterwards, we will have breakfast and activities in the Louisville area as usual.
Overall, each pro-life action event strives to put the young people of our parish in touch with reality. Abortion, child killing, is something really going on in our country. We must face it and fight it! One powerful way to fight it is with prayer and peaceful protest. Please pray to end this holocaust and if you are so moved, join us and the youth of the parish on Saturday mornings in prayer and peaceful protest.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask any one of us listed below, as we are all adult sponsors of the youth group. Thanks.
