Could we see the end of abortion in America?
In the USA, abortion takes the lives of over 600,000 babies a year.
Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health could change that.
The Mississippi law at stake in this case bans abortion after 15 weeks. The question before the Supreme Court is whether all pre-viability bans on elective abortions are unconstitutional.
This is the case that could could overturn Roe v. Wade—the Supreme Court decision which made abortion legal in all 50 states.
Nine justices stand between life and death for millions of innocent children and their mothers.
What can we do?
The most important thing we can do to is to bend our knees in supplication to our Lord Jesus Christ, asking for the end to Roe, and to the brutal practice of abortion.
Join Catholics across the country in Eucharistic Adoration on November 30 and December 1, as the Supreme Court hears the landmark pro-life case Dobbs vs Jackson Women's Health. To sign up for an hour or more, use the sign up sheet in the church vestibule or call Doug Fellabaum 606-547-8009.
Each week we are contacted by people requesting prayers for specific people and intentions; those requests and some universal prayer intentions are then sent out in an email like this one to members of the Prayer Chain. If you would like to be the Prayer Chain coordinator who compiles the requests intentions and sends the weekly Flocknote email please contact Suzette Taylor in the Parish Office.
