St. Edward Parish at 216 S, Nichols St., Lowell, IN 46356 US - Witness for LIFE
| Witness for LIFE |
We will commemorate Roe V. Wade, the court decision that made abortion legal through all nine months of pregnancy and pray of the 50 million that have been killed and their families. Please come join us! Help us put an end to abortion through prayer! Bring your whole family. Starting at 11 am, we will stand for one hour holding provided signs as we pray that all Life will be recognized as a sacred gift from God. Thanks to all who stood and prayed at Planned Parenthood in a Witness for Life on October 25. We had an amazing number of parishioners who joined together in solidarity with the unborn and all who suffer. There were at least 10-12 people present throughout the entire day; the best turnout of all the parishes in the diocese. Annette Mullady, a representative from Lake County Right to Life who was with us told us that she was approached by a young woman. This woman told her that she was pregnant and had planned on getting an abortion. She had gone to Planned Parenthood 3 times already and each time had seen people praying in front of the building and had lost her nerve. This was the 4th time that she had come and once again, there were people peacefully praying. She explained to Annette, that that was it; she was done trying to get an abortion and that she had decided to continue the pregnancy and to give her child life. Thanks be to God! Lake County Right to Life will continue to pray at the clinic as they have in the past, on Wednesday mornings. If you are interested in spending an hour in defense of the defenseless, please call Annette at 838-1138.
