We’re Back!

Posted on by

Hi, RocklandRTL.org  is back up and running!

We have to apologize. If you’ve visited our website for the past few months, we’re afraid you didn’t  find anything new there.

Now, we’ve redesigned the site using a blog model that will be much easier to keep up to date. And that’s what we intend to do — provide a venue where we can share thoughts, news, and support each others’ efforts to defend the right to life for the unborn, aged, handicapped wherever it may be threatened.

You can help us!  Please read this. And send the link to our website to whomever you can think of:  http://www.RocklandRTL.org

Thank you very much!

Even though the next 40 Days of Life won’t officially start until Sept. 28,  the prayer warriors have been coming throughout the summer to the Planned Parenthood site on Perlman Drive in Spring Valley to pray for the conversion of the hearts of those who work at this facility and that young people will be protected from the indoctrination of this multi-billion dollar industry that is constantly recruiting more customers for their contraception and chemical abortions.

Please prayerfully consider taking an hour at the next 40 Days of Life, which will be held from Sept. 28 through Nov. 6.

March for Life — January 2011

Posted on by

At 6 am, on Jan. 24, the coldest morning of the winter (7 degrees), prolife Rocklanders braved the frigid temperatures to set out for Washington, DC, for the 38th annual March for Life.

The day fortunately offered one of the brief windows of good weather between the snowstorms that have been slamming the county since Christmas.

Our three buses arrived at the National Mall around 11 am, and joined the more than 200,000 marchers from across the country, who came to our nation’s capital to call for an end to the tragedy of abortion on demand. Continue reading →
