What a gorgeous day God gave us to begin praying for the community to be Planned Parenthood-Free!

We begin with a beautiful prayer by our Vicar of Rockland County, Monsignor Weber.

We were so blessed to have our guitarist and three wonderful children from St. Joseph’s on drums and violin. The music was spiritually uplifting!

We prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet and The Sorrowful Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary. How incredible to see the youth coming and praying for LIFE! We are called to be a voice for the most innocent among us — the baby in the womb.

We know the truth — America is founded upon the INALIENABLE RIGHT TO LIFE. We are standing on Holy Ground — The Planned Parenthood Prayer Site.

For 40 Days, we will be the hope for those who feel they have no choice. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD.

Sisters of Life Respond to HHS Mandate

“Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act each of us will be required by law to obtain health insurance, or face fines. Since this HHS mandate will require every insurer to include abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and artificial contraception, we will not be able to obtain any coverage that is free from those ‘services,’ and we will be forced to pay for them directly. Since we are neither employers, nor employees, of any religious institution, we cannot even take advantage of the ‘religious exemption’ contained in the new regulations or the ‘compromise.’ “

The Sisters invite you to join with them in prayer and fasting that our Nation will be protected against this great threat against liberty.

Father Antonio Astudillo from St. John the Baptist in Piermont prayed the Finding of Our Lord Jesus in the Temple in Spanish.  Continue reading

Team Rockland at the March for Life 2012

At the end of the journey -- The Rockland marchers at the Supreme Court

At 5:30 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 23, we began to gather — at Albertus Magnus High School and in the parking lots of Saint Gregory’s and Saint Francis’s Church.

It was dark, raining lightly and just about freezing. The roads threatened to be icy, but for the most part they weren’t. But no matter the weather, the prolife marchers from Rockland would be there. And so we head south to Washington, D.C., three buses among hundreds coming from all points of the compass, converging on the National Mall. There we’ll speak one message with one voice: Abortion must end.  Continue reading

At the Rally for Life 2012

At the Rally for Life at the National Mall, before the March begins.

It all begins at the National Mall.

From every state in the union, hundreds of thousands of prolifers — some of whom have been on the road for days – surge toward this gathering point, where the March for Life will begin.

Here they assemble for the grand opener for the March — the Rally for Life – where the speakers – statesmen, religious leaders, and giants in the prolife movement – give eloquent voice to why we’re all here. Continue reading
