ROSARY FOR LIFE – STILL GOING STRONG!

With parishioners and Knights of Columbus from St. Joseph, Immaculate Heart of Mary

and Sacred Heart, we are still praying the Rosary every Wednesday and the 1st Saturday of

the month, 10:00 a.m., at the Women’s Clinic in the cul-de-sac off Wellington and 8th St.

until abortions are ended there. Abortions are done up to 12 weeks gestation. We can-

not stop praying but must be the voices of the unborn and support for the women who seek an abortion as

their only option. Please come to join your fellow parishioners! Questions? Call Patti Brown at 241-6266.
