CHOOSE LIFE
…”If abortion is bad for
children because it kills them, and we find out through good, solid research that abortion
is harming the mental or physical well being of women---and subsequently the fathers of
those children as well as members of their extended families---then at some point we will
have to ask as a society, ‘if abortion is bad for all these people and causing all
this damage, who is it good for?’ We all know the answer: the
abortion industry.” (Olivia Gans, Director, American Victims of Abortion)
Note: The
Jr. C.Y.O…. will break until after the first

WORLD World Marriage Day will be
celebrated February 15th at the Cathedral of St. Peter in Jackson. If you
