Since the leak of the draft decision of the Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs Wade, some abortion advocates are calling for nationwide demonstrations, disruption of Catholic Mass services, and the personal intimidation of specific Supreme Court justices. Three of the five signers of the draft decision are Catholic, and there have been about 10 incidents since the leak.
In response, Archbishop José H. Gomez, president of the USCCB and Archbishop William E. Lori chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on Pro-Life Activities, have invited the faithful to unite in fasting and prayer. Their key intentions are:
Though prayer and fasting can be done at any time, the bishops have specifically asked for our prayers this Friday, May 13, the Memorial of Our Lady of Fatima. They concluded their response with: “As Catholics, let us witness to the beautiful gift of life with civility and love, with our peaceful prayers, and our compassionate service to all those in need”.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.

Our Pro-Life Group meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7 pm in the church to pray a Pro-Life Rosary. The Pro-Life Rosary is a beautiful way to pray for the unborn children and all who are affected by abortion. It is often prayed on a five decade rosary with different colored beads for different intentions, but any colored rosary will work. All are welcome to join us in person or at home.
