Attend the March for Life in Washington DC on January 24, 2010 or a prayer service at your parish. The EWTN channel on cable will probably broadcast the event. Don’t assume that it was not held because it was not mentioned on the network news. More info is available in the Supreme Council article.
We will once again hold our January Pro-Life Spaghetti Dinner on Saturday January 22, 2011 after 5:00 PM Mass in the Church Hall. However, if the SJE Parish volunteer appreciation dinner on the 21st should get cancelled due to snow, we will have to reschedule this dinner. Proceeds from the free-will donations will benefit a prolife / defend life charity.
