40 Days for Life 2019 - Mid Point Rally

from Wanda

We’re over half way there. We’ve reached the middle of the campaign.

Join us for the 40 Days for Life mid-point rally, this Sunday October 20, 7:00 pm at the vigil site, southwest corner of Queen and Bank Streets. Our guest speaker is Father Mark Goring CC.

We can’t complain about the weather this year, for the most part, it’s been typical fall weather. No frosty days, and just a few rainy ones. God has been good.

To safeguard our supply bag, on days which are not covered by a group (uncommitted days), we keep the bag at St. Patrick’s Basilica, in the Scavi, beside the gift shop, where people can come and go to get a sign. We haven’t had any more thefts. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Father Tony Van Hee joins us at the vigil site and he has offered to watch over the supply bag on uncommitted days.

On September 30th we were pleased to have a large group of about 10 people from St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish in Perth Ontario, travel to Ottawa to join our vigil for a few hours. They plan a return visit during our Campaign.

Thank you to everyone who has come out to pray so far. There’s still time and it pleases God to see us defending His little ones.

Yours for Life,

Wanda Hartlin

during the ice storm in January 1998 so I'm including it with the wedding photos. 

It's very cute Michelle! I couldn't resist!

Message to Catholics when voting - Father Mark Goring C.C.

from Fr. Mark Goring C.C.

"Dear Catholics don't be stupid. If you vote for a political leader who allows harm to be done to the most innocent person, you are complicit in the death of the innocent person. You have blood on your hands. You might spend all of eternity in Hell because you did not obey God's clear commandment--Thou shalt not kill."

He who has ears to hear, let him hear

Mark 4:9

This poem was in our Sunday Bulletin Yesterday 

(Annunciation of the Lord Parish) 

The unborn child asks... 

If I am not alive, why am I growing?

 If I am not a human being, what kind of being am I? 

If I am not a child, why am I sucking my thumb? 

If I am a living, human child and humans have value, why is it legal to kill me?

 You have a voice, why aren’t you defending me?
