Upcoming Pro-life Events

9 Days of Prayer to Prevent the Freedom of Choice Act
A novena will be prayed from January 11 until January 19 for the intention of preventing the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). President-elect Barack Obama has promised Planned Parenthood that he will enact the FOCA as soon as he is in office. This act would undo many of the safeguards and laws pro-lifers have worked so hard to put in place over the years, including parental notification laws and the partial birth abortion ban. Not only that, but doctors would be required by law to perform abortions regardless of their personal beliefs. These are just a few of the things FOCA would enable and require. Please pray that President-elect Obama will not be able to keep his promise to PP.

Youth for Life Meeting
It will be held on January 14 at 7 pm. We have an awesome guest speaker this time who is very excited to be coming!

Olympia March for Life
This year's March for Life will be held on Tuesday, January 20. If you would like to ride down on a bus, check at your local parishes to see if they have one going. You can also carpool down with a group of friends. Directions are here.
