Dear Parishioners,

I have just learned of a planned protest that will take place today, Sunday, at 5:00 pm in front of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. The group organizing the event is stlactivist.

They are calling for a nonviolent protest but not peace or silence. The following is from stlactvist social media post:  "This is a nonviolent protest but definitely not a quiet one. We will be disrupting the peace, but will not be taking part in any kind of violence, vandalism, or other crime."

We ask anyone attending this evening not to engage the protestors but ask all parishioners to pray for the conversion of hearts of those who support abortion.

Msgr. Breier

PS  Be assured the Cathedral Basilica will have additional security present this evening.
