A Pro-Life Vocation: Teaching should be about touching the future, not killing it

By Bonnie Finnerty, Education Director

To teach is to touch the future. So true. My former students are now coding software, engineering structures, managing businesses, and dispensing prescriptions.

Gosnell Movie Screening

The Concerned Citizens for Human Life Bedford is inviting residents of Blair, Cambria, and Allegheny counties, as well pro-lifers in Maryland to attend a screening of the film Gosnell : The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer at the Pitt Theater in Bedford on November 2, 2019 at 2:30 p.m . Because the film exposes the horrors of abortion, media bias prevented it from being widely shown in the theaters across the country. As a result many people have not seen it or even heard of it! Attendees may make a free-will donation to help defray the cost of renting the theater. Contact Doug Braendel at dcbraendel@gmail.com for more information.
