Friday January 22, 2021 marks the 48th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. Bishop Sweeney has designated that day a Day of Prayer and Fasting to end abortion. Let us pray and remember the millions of lives lost to abortion and pray for those left to suffer the tragic effects. We are committed to protecting all life from conception to natural death and will work actively to safeguard the laws to protect and defend the fundamental dignity of all people. Let us ask our Blessed Mother, Protectress of the Unborn, to intercede on our behalf that these efforts to end abortion are guided by mercy, compassion, and above all charity.
