Pro-Life Corner Ten years ago, the
first-ever 40 Days for Life campaign
kicked off in College Station, Texas.
Since then, God has clearly shown
what He can do when we pray, fast ... and stand vigil:
Lives are saved, Hearts are changed, Abortion facilities
close. Pro-Life Rosary every Friday evening at 8:30PM at
the Adoration Chapel and Saturday mornings after the
9:00AM Mass at St. Rita’s.
PRAY for those who are Sick. Help us keep
our list current by letting us know when we
may remove a name. Sharon Aanensen,
