Respect Life
                        
The Respect Life Group keeps us apprised of Pro-Life issues and needs, recruits volunteers, and tries to enable each parishioner to be actively Pro-Life. The Group exists to foster respect for all human life from conception to natural death; abortion plays a central role because it is a direct attack against the most vulnerable and defenseless members of the human family. The policy and practice of allowing over one and a half million abortions annually cannot but diminish respect for life in other areas.

Praise the Lord!  Our Prayers have been Answered.
The Family Planning Services of Lorain County chemical abortion clinic in North Ridgeville has closed.  This is a wonderful answer to the prayers of our parish over the last five years since the clinic opened.  In gratitude, and in conjunction with our parish's monthly Rosary for Life, a thanksgiving prayer service will be held this Wednesday, July 28, at 7:30 p.m. at the Church.  The prayer service
will include the Rosary for Life, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Benediction.  Please join us as we thank God for bringing about this victory for life.
