- April 19, 8am - Helpers of God's Precious Infants Rosary Procession from Cathedral Basilica to Planned Parenthood. This is normally a Mass the third Saturday of every month, but not this month since it is Holy Saturday. Once a month, on a Saturday, PP flies in a late-term abortion specialist.

- April 29, 12:30 - 2:30pm - Creative Writing Contest Awards Assembly at Cardinal Rigali Center.

The RLA feels it is very important for young people to understand this virtue, especially in light of the often casual attitude toward sexual relationships in today's culture.

Change the Odds
23% of women who choose abortion do so because of financial hardship. The LifeLine Coalition offers both financial and emotional support to women in crisis pregnancies. Your generous donation will change the odds for more than 10,000 women in our community every year. To donate, go towww.STLRespectLife.org or use one of the envelopes on the bulletin board near the back of church.
