National Night of Prayer

Respect-Life News: National Night of Prayer for Life
8pm to midnight on Friday, December 8

Uniting the Feast of the Immaculate Conception with the Feast of St. Juan Diego the pro-life committee, along with the Holy Name Society and the Knights of Columbus, are inviting the entire parish to participate in Eucharistic Adoration and recitation of the rosary from 8pm to midnight on Friday, December 8.

It was on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception in 1531 that Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas and the Unborn, first appeared to St. Juan Diego. The National Night of Prayer for Life bridges the Feasts of Immaculate Conception and St. Juan Diego. We ask Our Blessed Mother to protect Life and the Family; to renew the Church, establish Peace, and inspire Courage in the soul of our nation. We will be united with the entire country during these hours praying for these intentions.
