Pray for an unborn child!
St. Anthony Claret Respect Life Ministry
3rd Annual Spiritual Adoption: Sept. 2009 to June 2010
Our parish’s Respect Life Ministry invites you to join in this year’s Spiritual Adoption.
Offer this prayer daily for a baby forming in the womb of an unknown mother and for an end to abortion: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I love you very much; I beg you to spare the life of the unborn child that I have spiritually adopted, who is in danger of abortion.
During your earthly life, this child which you have adopted will be known only to God, but in the hereafter, you will enjoy each other’s company for all eternity.
You and your family are invited to join the St. Anthony Mary Claret Respect Life Ministry at our upcoming sing-along on Saturday, May 8, 2 - 3 p.m.
for the residents of St. Francis Nursing Home, 630 Woodlawn Ave.

“The Archdiocese of San Antonio joins all the bishops of the United States in taking a strong and positive stand for the protection of children and youth. We are completely committed to the prevention of abuse through education. This is important to every Catholic to ensure that we are following the mandate of Jesus to "Let the little children come to me." All children must be safe from harm and respected in every Catholic parish, school, and institution.” – Archbishop José H. Gomez, S.T.D.

Thank You, Nancy!
After many years of faithful service, our hard-working parish sacristan, Nancy Lydic, has resigned due to medical reasons.
