This fall our parish will be joining the hundreds of thousands of people participating in 40 Days for Life across North America and internationally. For 40 days in a row, from Sept 22 - Oct 31, 12 hours each day – faithful people will be peacefully praying on sidewalks in front of abortion clinics.
Our parish has made a commitment to participate in the San Antonio 40 Days for Life by praying on the sidewalk in front of the
Planned Parenthood at 104 Babcock Road on
Sunday, Oct. 10, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Parishioners can choose any hour of the day to come and pray. Everyone is encouraged to participate. Elderly and handicapped are welcome to bring a chair. Parents with small children are encouraged to bring a stroller for safety. The public sidewalk belongs to the citizens, so we are legally able to stand and pray as long as we don’t block the through-traffic. Free parking is available at the Restaurant Depot (blue sign) across the street from the Planned Parenthood.
This is a wonderful opportunity for us to stand up and pray for Life. Call to sign up for one hour of prayer in front of Planned Parenthood: Michelle Phinizy 210-275-1484.

St. Anthony Claret Respect Life Ministry
4th Annual Spiritual Adoption: Sept. 2010 to June 2011
The Respect Life Ministry invites all parishioners to join us in our annual Spiritual Adoption. From the weekend of September 4/5 to June 4/5, we ask you all to pray daily for a baby forming in the womb of an unknown mother.
The following prayer was recommended by Msgr. Fulton J. Sheen: “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.
Developmental Update—Your spiritually adopted baby at conception
The mother and father’s chromosomes join to form a unique individual
within the mother’s womb in the process called conception.
Keep this as a daily reminder to pray for your spiritually adopted baby:
|
I __________________________________ will adopt the unborn baby named ____________________________ to be born on June 5, 2011. I promise to pray daily for this baby’s health and for a safe entry into this world.
