CHOOSE LIFE – Planned Parenthood
performed 264,943 abortions in 2005, an amount equaling nearly 20% of all U.S. abortions.
Abortion procedures make up nearly a third of Planned Parenthood clinic income. While the
number of abortions has declined substantially in the U.S., Planned Parenthood’s
share of the nation’s abortion business has steadily increased, making it the largest
abortion chain in the country as well as the nation’s biggest abortion advocate. (NRL News, December, 2007)
USHERS AND LECTORS – We thank our parishioners who serve
faithfully as ushers and lectors at Mass. We are always in need of additional ushers and
lectors and if anyone is interested please call the rectory or let Father Ruane know.
