OLPH Respect for Life Ministry Events and Opportunities in 2023
Each day of the Novena, we will pray a Scriptural Rosary, reflect upon a quote from Pope Francis, and a prayer from St. John Paul II’s Evangelium Vitae. For inclement weather or those unable to make it in person, we will simulcast on Zoom – ID 854 9419 3031, Passcode 8675309.
How do we speak to our kids about the sacredness of all life and the importance of protecting life in the womb? In anticipation of the National March for Life, join us for a family movie night, watching Horton Hears a Who! (2008) on Friday, January 13, 6:30-8:30 pm in the Parish Center Gym. Popcorn and refreshments will be available; please bring folding chairs or blankets to sit on. Plug into the movie review available here: https://www.pluggedin.com/movie…/drseusshortonhearsawho/. Please RSVP below and consider donating to the parish to offset the cost of our movie license.
