Stand for Life

 A request from Council 6266

Peace of Christ to you!

 

I could use your help with a call to Knights to stand for life.  Please ask the the area GK,s to send the request to their council members.  Request below.

 

I received a request from the ladies who are working hard on the 40 Days For Life campaign at the Planned Parenthood on SW 1st and SW Betts in Beaverton across the street from the Post Office.  The campaign is a peaceful vigil of prayer and information on options for those considering abortion which lasts for the 40 days of Lent from 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM Monday - Saturday.

 

Last Saturday, the ladies met with resistance from a group of protesters dressed in black.  The ladies were met with shouting and loud drums.  Some of the ladies were traumatized by the actions of the protesters.  We have been asked to come to the 40 Days For Life campaign on Saturday to stand in support of the ladies.  The counter protesters showed up around 10:00 AM and left around 2:00 PM.  Let us stand with the courageous ladies as they advocate for life for the unborn.  This is a peaceful vigil and we will do our part to keep it peaceful.  We are not mixing with or engaging the protesters as we will be across the street from the Planned Parenthood.

 

On Saturdays, after the morning mass at St. Cecilia's, the rosary has been offered across the street from Planned Parenthood for the last 18 years.  The rosary begins around 8:45 AM.  Come and join us in prayer and support for the unborn.

 

This is the preeminent struggle of our age.

 

I would encourage my Brother Knights to consider stopping by the 40 Days For Life during Lent and especially on Saturday's.

 

God love each of you.
