Blessings everyone,

Just for your information every Monday a group of people pray the rosary at the abortion clinic near St.Luke’s on El Dorado and Alpine.  We get together around 10 am and pray for about an hour. This is the time frame that the abortion doctor is there and the killing of babies takes place.   Fr. Matt and Fr. Al are normally there along with other people praying for those considering abortion and the babies who lose their lives. 

Last Monday there were two lives saved as parents reconsidered their decision.  One women shared how she had came to get  an abortion a year ago, but changed her mind after talking to someone.  Now, she has handsome one year old boy.   A couple with two kids in their car changed their mind after talking to someone. Can you imagine, what the couple was feeling and thinking as they drove into the parking lot of the abortion clinic with two young children in their car and thinking of aborting their baby?  

Sometimes, it is the presence of young people  praying for others that makes a difference in a person’s decision.  If you are free to spend some time with God come and join us on Mondays.   Hope to see you there. 

God Bless :)
