e-mail Joan Respect Life is a ministry that attempts to bring awareness within the parish to the clash between the culture of life and the culture of death. On a yearly basis, the Rosary Crusade for Life is organized in our parish. Rosaries are said throughout the month of October for an end to all assaults on life. The parish count is added to the South Carolina statewide crusade. Our crusade is then culminated with an all night vigil for life in conjunction with the Knights of Columbus. Pro-life flyers are inserted in bulletins on Right to Life Sunday. Also in October, parishioners are encouraged to participate in the Life Chain at the government center in Beaufort. This is an hour long, silent protest against assaults on life.
In January, the month of the anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade decision, white crosses, one for each million abortions performed in the country, are installed at the front of the church. Bulletin announcements are also provided informing parishioners of local, state and national marches for life.
Throughout the year as well, Respect Life bulletin announcements are provided to the parish along with any additional information regarding pro-life activities in the area. Click here for WHAT'S YOUR PART IN THE PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT? document There is a parish wide program to foster an understanding of the sanctity of life before birth. The program is based on a beautifully designed poster series. The posters are displayed in the St. Francis School classrooms, the Family Center and in the narthex of the church. |
SOUTH CAROLINA LAWMAKERS REACH ABORTION-ULTRASOUND COMPROMISE…
South Carolina’s abortion businesses will be required to inform women that they have a right to view the ultrasound of their unborn child one hour before an abortion under a compromise South Carolina House and Senate lawmakers reached last month on the Ultrasound Bill. Governor Mark Sanford signed the bill into law on May 14th.
Under the compromise language, if an ultrasound is performed, the abortionist is required to inform the woman that she has a right to view the ultrasound during or after the ultrasound procedure. If the ultrasound is performed the woman must wait one hour before the abortion. The ultrasound remains optional before 14 weeks of pregnancy. PLANNED PARENTHOOD PURCHASES PROPERTY IN CHARLESTON…
Planned Parenthood Health System’s Inc. has purchased property at 200 Rutledge ave. in Charleston for $1.25 million, according to the Charleston County Auditor’s office records. Planned Parenthood says its “future Charleston, SC health center will begin providing medical care in 2008.”
Prayers are needed for the unborn child and his/her mother who may be attracted to this new facility.
RACHEL’S CORNER:
An important part of healing for many men begins with a repentance of their role in the abortion and the failure to protect mother and baby from harm. This act of humility opens the door for them to acknowledge that they have lost a son or daughter. We can help. Next retreat is August 24-28, 2008 in Seneca, SC (upstate) .
