From the Pastor
Planned Parenthood Closing
10-15-2017Fr. Don Kline, V.F.Dear Brothers and Sisters,
After nearly seven years of prayer, fasting, and a powerful Christian witness by Respect Life groups from several parishes coupled with the faithful presence of the Knights of Columbus every Tuesday night, the Planned Parenthood office on 32nd Street and Thunderbird has officially closed its doors. The hours of standing in the hot sun; hearing the insults of passersby; resisting the temptations to give up, all speak to the grit of the prayer warriors who fought the good fight… and won! Yes, it is only one victorious battle in the war against the unborn but it is one victory. But, as a result of this particular Planned Parenthood closing its doors, abortions will cease to be offered in our neighborhood and lives will be saved.
