What if we made the church the first place a young woman ran to when she found out she was pregnant – instead of away because of shame and guilt?
~LOVE THEM BOTH~
Roe is gone and babies are protected in Louisiana, but women in crisis face real challenges. Moms in need can visit www.adifficultchoice.com, use the zip code search to find resources near them.
Thank you for praying for spiritually adopted babies. Please also remember in your prayers their moms:
God of Infinite Goodness, watch over expectant mothers as they await the birth of their child. Grant these women confidence and strength to dispel their anxiety and fear. Bless them with the courage and faith of Mary, always listening to your will and trusting in your loving care. As they prepare to bring new life into the world, grace them with good health and great joy. We look to you and your Son, Jesus Christ, as a sign of mercy and joy. We ask this through the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes in the name of your Son, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, now and forever. AMEN.
On Thursday, September 8th our St. Joseph Altar Ministry and Pro-Life Ministry partnered together to host a very special birthday celebration for the Blessed Mother with our St. Angela Merici School children. Students were asked to bring Mary birthday gifts to be donated to Catholic Charities, Access Pregnancy Center. The children brought so many gifts, we filled the entire bed of a pickup truck!!
The Access Pregnancy Center was ecstatic! They had run out of most of those supplies, diapers and wipes, just the day before we delivered the treasure of gifts to them. As part of the celebration, the children were given cupcakes and party favor bags, containing Miraculous Medal magnets, scripture candy, etc. The Children's Choir also did an incredible job providing us with music. We know the festivities brought a smile to Mama Mary's face.
Today, September 14, the Church celebrates the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. FORMED.ORG has some excellent content prepared for you, sharing about the history behind this feast and the tradition of St. Helena and here discovery of the true cross. Create your free account today to begin viewing.
