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 for the residents of St. Francis Nursing Home.

Saturday, May 8, 2 - 3 p.m.

630 Woodlawn Ave
