Join the March for Life at the Capitol This Monday!

"A great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world. Through special initiatives and in daily prayer, may an impassioned plea rise to God, the Creator and lover of life, from every Christian community, from every group and association, from every family and from the heart of every believer." 

–  Pope Saint John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae, no. 100

This Monday, Jan. 22, is a Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children. As individuals, we are called to observe this day through the penitential practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Another way to take part is through participating in special events to observe the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, we legalized abortion in the U.S.

Please pray in a special way on Monday for the end of abortion. You are invited to join Fr. Mark and others at the March for Life at our state capitol. A coach bus with amenities will leave Saint Andrew at 8:55 a.m. There is no charge, but a voluntary contribution may be given. Mass begins at 10:30 a.m., followed by a peaceful march from the church to the Minnesota state capitol. The bus will return to Saint Andrew at 2:15 p.m.
