October is Respect Life Month and
Down Syndrome Awareness Month!
Meet Frank Stephens. He has a message for us. Pass it on.
by Bonnie Finnerty, Education Director

Pregnant with her first child in 1973 when Roe v. Wade was handed down, Connie Fenice hoped that legalized abortion in this country would be short-lived. Like so many others, she was dismayed to instead see a culture of death take hold. In 1994, as a new teacher at St. Margaret Mary Catholic School in the Diocese of Harrisburg, she decided to do something that has had a long-lasting impact. She started a student-led pro-life club, an organization that is now entering its 26th year and has yielded great fruit for the pro-life movement. READ MORE
Literature for Life Fall Selection
Please join us in reading Love Unleashes Life: Abortion and the Art of Communicating the Truth by Stephanie Gray. Hailed as a fresh approach to pro-life apologetics, the book is meant to help readers effectively change minds and hearts on the topic of abortion. Sample dialogues and proven strategies equip the reader to communicate with confidence. We are encouraging church groups, school pro-life clubs, local chapters, and every pro-lifer to read and discuss this book in their local communities. As we did with Gosnell , we will offer an online book chat in early December. Stay tuned!

Your seat for Diamond & Silk
is waiting!
Due to overwhelming demand, the Federation’s 40th anniversary Celebrate Life Banquet featuring Diamond & Silk is SOLD OUT. But, there is a way you can still come and hear these pro-life sensations and see them in person on Tuesday, October 15, 2019. As an alternative we have arranged to have theater style seats set up in a room adjacent to the banquet ballroom where people can attend their pro-life presentation on a big screen via LIVE video. After their presentation, Diamond & Silk will leave the stage in the ballroom and immediately go to the theater room for a brief chit-chat with everyone there. So if you are there you will see them in-person! Reserve your seats for $30 each TODAY by clicking here !

Gosnell Movie Screening
The Concerned Citizens for Human Life Bedford is inviting residents of Blair, Cambria, and Allegheny counties, as well as 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.
