MASSES FOR LIFE
Each year in January we recall the infamous Supreme Court decisions Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton that effectively legalized abortion on demand throughout the United States. Our diocese hosts two Masses for Life as a prayerful reminder that we “must protect and nurture human life at every stage of its existence.” Bishop Bonnar will preside at the Masses for Life on:
Tuesday, January 18 at 6:30 pm in the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Chapel at Walsh University (2020 E. Maple St., North Canton).
Sunday, January 23 at 4:00 pm at St. Columba Cathedral, (154 W. Wood St., Youngstown).
Each Mass for Life will include a Blessing of Children in the Womb and will be followed by a reception. All are welcome; no reservations needed. For more information call 330-744-8451 ext.272 or e-mail dschmidt@youngstowndiocese.org.
