NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE LEGAL PROTECTION OF UNBORN CHILDREN (Mon., Jan. 23, 11:30 a.m.)

In concert with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, our parish kept the National Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children on Mon., Jan. 23 since this year the anniversary of "Roe v. Wade" (Jan. 22) fell on a Sunday. Holy Mass in the Ancient Use was offered at 11:30 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church. Flags at both churches were flown at half-mast in mourning and protest over abortion on demand and its millions of victims. Our parish continues to work with the Ulster Deanery Respect Life Committee.
