Contacting Our Legislators
“Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live…”
As Catholic Christians we cannot remain silent in the face of grave evil. We must let our legislators know that we do not support the increased attacks on human life. Next weekend you are invited to the atrium after all Masses to write a letter to your legislator asking him or her to vote no on upcoming legislation that would undermine a culture of life in our state. Computers, paper and pens will be provided for electronic and paper communication.
Cathedral Parish Pro-Life Committee
Our parish is looking for individuals who are interested in helping our community pray and advocate for life every day of the year. We need a chairperson or co-chairs who will work to inform and educate our parishioners on how to support a culture of life in our city, state and country. If you are passionate about respecting life, and have a little time to give, please consider stepping forward to serve I as a pro-life chairperson. Contact the parish office for more information or to volunteer, 522-3342 or [email protected]
Crusaders for Life
Calling all junior high and high school students! Are you an advocate for life? Want to get involved in the joyful message of life and meet new people in the Springfield area? Crusaders for Life are coming to Springfield! Come check it out as this chapter is launching on Feb. 23, at 7:30 p.m. at the Sacred Heart Church Parish Center (730 S. 12th Street in Springfield).
The Crusaders for Life work to educate ourselves on the issue of abortion so that we are better prepared to advance the prolife cause in our schools, workplaces, and families. By fully understanding what abortion does to the unborn and their mothers and fathers, we are less likely to become numb to the fact that it happens every day by the thousands. With this understanding we try to spread the truth everywhere we go by participating in rallies, marches, protests, and prayer vigils.
