As Liturgical Coordinator, Jim will also provide

NOVEMBER, 2014 BALLOT QUESTION
ON ABORTION
In November, Amendment 1 will state:
Nothing in this Constitution secures or protects
a right to abortion or requires the funding of an
abortion. The people retain the right through
their elected state representatives and state
senators to enact, amend, or repeal statutes
regarding abortion, including, but not limited to,
circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape
or incest or when necessary to save the life of
the mother.
Because of a radical 4 to 1 ruling by the Tennessee
Supreme Court in 2000, TN now boasts a broader right
to abortion than that recognized by Roe v. Wade or the
U.S. Constitution. In 2008, 23.7% of abortions were
sought by women residing out-of-state. "YES on 1" is a
non-profit pro-life group that is helping to spread the
word and educate TN residents about this important
ballot measure. Please look for future information
about this in the bulletin. www.yeson1tn.org
VOTE YES on Amendment One!!!!!!

MAINTENANCE COLLECTION IN JUNE
In June, we are having our annual collection for parish
maintenance needs. This year’s collection will be used
to help pay for our new maintenance building. Upon
receiving excellent feedback on our drawings, minor
changes to the design were made, resulting in a
projected cost of $40,000.
We are grateful for your support of the Capital
Collection in January which fully funded our new
security system. However, that collection was not
sufficient to pay for the maintenance building.
Please prayerfully consider donating to this year’s
maintenance collection. If you are an envelope user, you
have an envelope in your June supply. If you would like
to give online, you may do so by going to the Maintenance
Fund giving opportunity on the WeShare site which is
accessible from our website, www.sthomaslc.com

CELEBRACIÓN Y MISA DEL DÍA
NOVIEMBRE,
NOVIEMBRE, PREGUNTA SOBRE EL
ABORTO EN LA VOTACIÓN DEL 2014
En noviembre, la primera pregunta de votación dice:
Nada en esta Constitución asegura o protege el derecho
al aborto o requiere el financiamiento de un aborto. El
pueblo retiene el derecho a través de sus representantes
y senadores estatales elegidos para aprobar,
enmendar, o revocar estatutos acerca del aborto,
incluyendo, pero no limitado a las circunstancias de
embarazo como resultado de una violación o de incesto
o cuando sea necesario para salvar la vida de la madre.
Debido a una resolución radical de 4 a 1 por la Corte
Suprema de Tennessee en 2000, Tennessee ahora tiene
un derecho al aborto más amplio que el reconocido por
Roe v. Wade o por la Constitución de los E.E.U.U. En
2008, 23.7% de los abortos fueron buscados por
mujeres residiendo fuera del estado. Yes on 1 es un
grupo pro-vida y sin fines de lucro que está
diseminando información y educando a los residentes
de Tennessee sobre este importante proyecto de
ley. Por favor, busque en el boletín por más
información sobre este proyecto en el futuro.
