That is 0.14% of your time each month. Imagine helping pregnant mothers and the facility workers open their hearts towards God and choosing a Pro-Life solution. Pro-Life is a fundamental human right, a tenet of Catholicism and we need your prayers. Perhaps, you feel the Holy Spirit calling you to support the Pro-Life movement. Answer that call and join us monthly to dedicate 0.14% of your time. Our next session will be on Saturday, March 13 from 9:00-10:00am.
