Face the Truth

The eager face of a beautiful baby is a reminder of the joy that every new life brings.  Every child deserves the chance to be born and to be loved. Yet over 1.2 million unborn babies are aborted each year in our country.

On Friday, July 6, we will be holding signs at 3 sites in the Joliet area to increase awareness of the tragedy of abortion. Join us at:
-   9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. in Joliet, at Jefferson St. and Larkin Ave.
-  11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. in Shorewood, at Route 59 and Black Rd.
-  3:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. in Plainfield, at Route 59 and Caton Farm Rd. 

The Knights of Columbus, Good Shepherd Council # 5573 and Reverence for Life will have a luncheon for sign holders from 1:30 to 2:30 at St. Mary Immaculate Parish in the Faith Sharing Room at 15629 S. Route 59, Plainfield. For more information or any questions regarding the July 6th sign holding in the Joliet area, please call Ted Castro, Sr. at (815) 439-0541. 

For any questions regarding other sites during the month of July, please contact the Pro-Life Action League at (773) 777-2900 or fax (773) 777-3061 or email info@prolifeaction.org or visit their website at www.prolifeaction.org.
