Priests for Life
an outreach of Gospel of Life Ministries
September - October 2016 Newsletter
|
|
Fr.
Frank Pavone, National Director, and Janet Morana, Executive
Director, were asked to teach a class at the summer bioethics course of
the Pontifical Athaneum “Regina Apostolorum” this past July. They were
asked to speak about a particular initiative that Priests for Life,
through the Silent No More Awareness Campaign advances, called “Healing
the Shockwaves of Abortion.”

Below you will find the Priests for Life September-October newsletter but first let me give you some other important updates.
A
nine week election novena begins on September 6th and I invite you to
join us in prayer in preparation for the upcoming important National
elections. Find the prayer at ElectionPrayer.com.
On
Saturday, September 10, Priests for Life, as well as Citizens for a
Pro-Life Society and the Pro-Life Action League are calling on pro-life
Americans to participate in the fourth annual National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children
to honor the gravesites of our unborn brothers and sisters. Solemn
prayer vigils will be conducted at these gravesites, of which there are
50 across the United States. To learn more about how you can
participate see http://abortionmemorials.com.
After
nearly five years of legal battles regarding the HHS Mandate - the
government opened up the process of finding a solution to public
comment! Priests for Life will hold a webcast on Monday night, September
12 at 9:00 PM Eastern, to explain to concerned citizens how they can
lend their voices in support of Priests for Life, the Little Sisters,
and various dioceses and Christian ministries who have stood firm
against the government's attempt to make them complicit in the expansion
of abortion. Sign up at www.PriestsForLife.org/Webcast. If you care about the right to freely practice your faith, join this webcast and encourage others to do the same.

In

Center. You can see more about this award here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=167QjDVIns0.

What is the Church supposed to say as elections approach?
We
as priests and deacons need to be free to do what we were ordained to
do: teach the Faith, and help people apply it in their lives. The Faith
