DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

FROM CALIFORNIA CATHOLIC DAILY:

Every First Saturday

San Diego pro-lifers keep up tradition of Our Lady of Fatima processions to abortion site

News from the Trenches

On Saturday, Sept. 6, the seventh First Saturday Procession this year from Our Lady of the Rosary parish in downtown San Diego to a nearby abortion center was held.

Two sidewalk counselors were supported by 16 prayer warriors armed with Rosaries and Holy Water.

Fr. Joseph Tabigue again joined us as well as several members of the Goretti Group.

The group walked in procession six blocks after the 7:30 a.m. Mass carrying a statue of Our Lady of Fatima to the mill and praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet on the way.

Fifteen Rosary Mysteries are prayed at the mill, interspersed with beautiful hymns. This is followed by several minutes of silent prayer for mercy.

The group then walked in procession back to the church praying the Luminous Mysteries.

This procession occurs every First Saturday beginning with the 7:30 Mass at Our Lady of the Rosary. Please plan to join us for this beautiful and moving prayer event!
