Join the Parade — Sunday, March 18

Posted on by

NEWS:  We’ll be marching in the First Battalion — that will be up near the front of the parade. So when you arrive at the parking lot, ask a parade organizer where the First Battalion is.

Also, we have heard that Timothy Cardinal Dolan has been invited to the parade by the AOH and he is expected to attend. More info here.

If you have your green scarf from the March for Life in Washington, please wear it. We have a few left over that we’ll distribute on Sunday.

Senate Defeats Blunt Amendment to Stop HHS Mandate

Posted on by

The Senate  today voted down an amendment to restore the religious liberty protections for employers who don’t want to be forced to pay for coverage of birth control or drugs that may cause abortions in their employee health plans. The vote was 51-48. Both New York Senators — Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand —  voted against it.

This issue is hardly over and done with. The mandate is already the subject of many lawsuits. Among them are The Eternal Word Television Network and Priests for Life, both of which organizations would be forced to pay for coverage of sterilization, contraception, and abortion-causing drugs in health insurance under the mandate.

All prolifers need to keep up to date on this important matter of religious liberty and conscience protection. Click here for a good summary.

How hard it is when the weather is brutal. Snow, rain, cold, and wind. The sacrifice is huge. You can barely see our volunteer in the rain and storm.

Yet, “Go out into the streets and proclaim the Gospel of Life!” said our Blessed Pope John Paul II.

And so we come to defend the most precious Gift of Life: wonderful family groups, the  Knights of Columbus, leading the charge to defend life, Msgr. McCabe from St. Mary’s, who has prayed here every Sunday for the last ten 40 Days for Life campaigns, and all our faithful volunteers.

This week a passerby asked what we were doing here. Our volunteer explained our calling to pray and be present to those in a crisis pregnancy. He thanked us for what we were doing.

That’s why we’re here.
