I am pleased to share with you details of important upcoming events this Spring, in particular the
23rd Annual Bishop's Pro-Life Dinner on April 16. As you have hopefully heard, this year's featured guest is actor, producer and pro-life advocate
Eduardo Verástegui from the inspirational films
Bella and
Little Boy.
As always, we depend on your critical help to spread the word about this important event. By now, you should have received a promotional packet for the Bishop's Dinner via email, as well as posters and yard signs at the Parish Pro-Life Coordinators meeting (remaining posters and signs are being delivered to your parishes). Below are links to electronic copies of these materials as well:
Tickets are going fast this year, so be sure to reserve your parish table(s) soon! And we'd like to encourage each parish to consider creating a
parish basket for the silent auction. Additional information about this wonderful way to support LIFE can be
found here.
I hope you experience a blessed Lent as we prepare to celebrate our Savior's Resurrection. On Easter Sunday, March 27 we also celebrate the Feast Day of St. Lazarus. Lazarus, the friend of Jesus, the brother of Martha and Mary, was the one of whom the Jews said, "See how much he loved him." We should all realize every day of our lives how much Jesus loves us. He suffered and died for each one of us. He earned heaven for us. He redeemed us. That is truly the Good News that we should be spreading to all.
