Pregnancy Plus Medical, a ministry of Catholic Charities, will now provide pregnancy tests and limited ultrasound on a bus near abortion clinics and other areas of the country that have little access to pregnancy resources.
At a July 5 ceremony held at Most Holy Redeemer Church in Tampa, Fr. Martin Schratz and Br. Miguel Ramirez blessed the bus to be used in the mobile ministry. Following the blessing, participants and members of Helpers of God's Precious Infants led a peaceful prayer vigil to a nearby abortion clinic.
Research demonstrates that an ultrasound will assist the mother to choose life in 90 percent of the cases.
Upcomming vigils will be held Aug. 2, Sept. 6 and Oct. 4. at Most Holy Redeemer, 10110 Central Ave. For more information, contact: Emma Boe at (813) 631-4370, e-mail eboe@ccdosp.org or link to this flyer.
