The Rose Procession On January 20, we will recognize as a parish the 46th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. The traditional Rose Procession, in which participants representing the last 46 years will process with a rose and place it at the altar, will be at the 9:30 Mass. At all the other Masses, there will be a special blessing. Please consider having members of your family participate in the procession. We need participants between the ages of 1-46. Contact Ellen Breininger at emb14@bex.net if you can participate. Please pray earnestly at these liturgies for protection of the lives of the unborn as well as for the women and men whose lives have been personally and deeply affected by abortion. May they feel the healing power of His unconditional love, through our prayer. May we seek always to see through the eyes of Christ.
