These are the final days of the Summer of Mercy 2.0. See below for a list of remaining events. If you have not yet ben able to join us yet, please do so now.
Consider joining the peaceful prayer walk for life, gathering a block south of Father Hurley Blvd. on Wisteria Dr. (near the Germantown late term abortion clinic) on Monday mornings 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. It is on Monday mornings that the heinous three day process of late term abortions begins. Monday mornings also represents the best opportunity to help these women and their unborn children. The Monday morning presence has already saved a number of lives and is making a difference.
The mission on Monday mornings:
--To come in mass numbers to make the public aware of the horrors of abortion — especially late-term abortion!
--To be present when the babies are killed by lethal injection--which happens on Monday mornings!
--If possible, to direct the mothers to the new pregnancy referral center across from the mill.
From Our July 31 Parish Bulletin:
SUMMER OF MERCY AND PRAYER FOR LIFE: Blessed Pope John Paul II in the Gospel of Life writes, “a great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world.” In an effort to end the destructive practice of late-term abortion offered by Leroy Carhart at the Germantown Reproductive Health Services on Wisteria Dr., we are uniting in an interdenominational 9-day prayer campaign, which runs until Monday, August 8, 2011. Remaining events at Mother Seton:
■ Sat., Aug. 6: 12 p.m. (noon) to 3 p.m.: Adoration and Prayer Service (bilingual) at Mother Seton Parish. The afternoon will include personal testimonies from those affected by abortion; intercessory prayers for healing; Eucharistic Adoration and Rosary; and an opportunity for Confession. At 2 p.m., Mass will be celebrated by Bishop Martin Holley.
