Fr Jim’s Jottings This weekend we join with thousands who are gathering in Washington D.C. for the annual March for Life. The March for Life is the longest running public demonstration in American history. Begun in 1973 in response to the now infamous Roe v Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision decriminalizing and deregulating abortions, this March attracts tens of thousands of people committed to reinstating legal protections for unborn children.
Abortion in the U.S. has been and remains one of our most controversial issues. It continues to disturb me that so many Americans dispute that an unborn child is a person, deserving protection. I can’t understand the argument that this is a woman’s issue….that a woman should have the right to choose to have an abortion. I can understand the fact that a woman has the right to choose to become pregnant, but not to take the life of the infant she has conceived. I hope you could join with me in praying for a greater respect for life in our country….especially in our love and respect for the unborn. Blessings! Catholic Schools Week…next weekend Fr Jim, the parish staff, and parishioners have been a stronghold of support for Xavier Catholic Schools and for that Xavier Catholic Schools are thankful. Catholic Schools Week (CSW) is a time when we acknowledge and thank our Appleton Catholic Parishes for their generous support. Next Sunday we will begin the celebration of CSW at our 10:00am Mass. Come and join us. Sunday BulletinsQuick Links |
