Would you be willing to donate 1 hour per month to pray with fellow St. Martin de Porres parishioners outside of the Planned Parenthood facility (201 E. Ben White Blvd)? This amounts to 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. You can choose to pray in Group Prayer (Rosary, Divine Mercy) or in Silent Prayer. Choose the optional carpool (Belterra Village parking lot at 8:30am – Sky Cinema) or meet us there. Contact Patrick Manning at 512-704-5895 or patrickfmanning@hotmail.com, if you are interested in participating.
