Yet with each passing year, evidence of contraception’s negative consequences keeps piling up, revealing profound repercussions on women, children, families, and society. Some Contraceptives Can Through the Cause Early Abortions Church’s teaching, Advocates of contraception claim it doesn’t cause abortions. However, that God invites us to claim rests on an inaccurate redefinition of “pregnancy” as beginning only after an embryo successfully implants in the mother’s uterus. This, then, a fuller, richer, excludes from the meaning of abortion all pills and devices that cause the death of an embryo before implantation. Yet it’s scientifically indisputable deeper way of life that a new human life begins when an embryo first forms at fertilization—6 to and love. 8 days before implantation. Physicians’ textbooks and handbooks reveal that some types of contraception sometimes work by preventing a living, developing, embryonic baby from reaching the uterus and successfully implanting, which results in his or her death.1 Physical Risks for Women Contraception also presents significant health risks for women. Combined oral contraceptives (COCs), as well as contraceptive patches and the “ring,” have long been known to cause cancer (of the breast, cervix, and liver).2 They also substantially increase the risk of potentially life-threatening blood clots,3 which have resulted in heart attacks, strokes, and hundreds of deaths in healthy young women. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) present other risks. For example, the following are just some of the warnings by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about one common IUD: septic shock and death may occur in the event of pregnancy; about half of pregnancies are ectopic; the device may embed, perforate, or penetrate the uterine wall, resulting in its migration outside the @usccbprolife [uterus], adhesions, peritonitis, intestinal perforation/obstruction, abscesses, and erosion of adjacent internal organs.4 @ProjectRachel fb.com/peopleoflife From Pill to Poverty Without the contraceptive pill, the sexual revolution couldn’t have happened.

In less than two decades (1965-1984), abortions among unmarried women grew from an annual 88,000 to 1,271,000.

Canonisation of Oscar Romero & New Diocesan Shrine On 14th October 2018, St Oscar Romero was canonised in Rome, alongside Pope St Paul VI. Archbishop Peter Smith issued a decree officially designating the "Romero Space" in St George's Cathedral a Diocesan Shrine. Those wishing to mark Romero's Canonisation are welcome to attend a National Mass of Thanksgiving which will take place in St George's Cathedral on Saturday 3rd November at 12.30pm. Archbishop Peter Smith will be the Principal Celebrant. All are welcome to the mass, (individuals, families, parishes, schools) and to visit the shrine. Let us savour the magnificent prayer, commonly attributed to St Oscar Romero, pronounced for the first time by Cardinal John Dearden but composed by Bishop Ken Untener. The Romero Prayer It helps, now and then, to step back and take the long view. The Kingdom is not only beyond our efforts; it is even beyond our vision. We accomplish in our lifetime only a fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work. Nothing we do is complete, which is another way of saying that the kingdom always lies beyond us. No statement says all that could be said. No prayer fully expresses our faith. No confession brings perfection. No pastoral visit brings wholeness.

    Piano dell’offerta formativa ǀ ISTITUTO CASA FAMIGLIA-MODENA Casa Famiglia e la sua storia L’Istituto delle Suore Adoratrici del SS. Sacramento, a cui appartengono le suore di Casa Famiglia, è una Congregazione fondata nel 1882 a Bergamo dal beato Francesco Spinelli, con Casa Madre e Casa Generalizia a Rivolta d’Adda (Cr). L’Istituto è presente in Italia, Congo, Senegal, Camerun, Colombia e Argentina. Don Francesco Spinelli ha accolto dal Signore l’ispirazione a fondare un Istituto di suore il cui scopo è “adorare perpetuamente Gesù Sacramentato, amarlo di vivo affetto, attingere dal Suo Cuore Sacratissimo l’ardore della carità che si spande a vantaggio dei prossimi”1. Le suore adoratrici raccolgono l’eredità spirituale del Fondatore e apprendono a riconoscere nel mistero eucaristico l’ “eccesso d’amore” di Dio per l’umanità. L’Eucaristia, quotidianamente celebrata e adorata, è per loro “scuola, giardino, soggiorno di virtù e di pace”2, mistero da cui attingere l’Amore per vivere e testimoniare l’«accesa carità» verso il Signore e verso i fratelli. Diversi sono gli ambiti della loro missione: offrono il loro contributo con un’azione incisiva nel mondo dell’educazione, privilegiando la presenza nella scuola dell’infanzia e primaria. Esercitano la loro opera anche in ambiti socio-sanitari: ospedali, istituti residenziali per diversamente abili e anziani autosufficienti e non, case d’accoglienza e strutture per le nuove emergenze sociali (ex-tossicodipendenti, minori a rischio). Offrono la collaborazione pastorale nella Chiesa locale, attente a condividere e a trasmettere uno stile di vita eucaristico e a promuovere una profonda spiritualità di comunione.

    The Century of Romero: 1917-2017 1 The Century of Romero: 1917 – 2017 August 2017 saw the centenary of St Oscar Romero’s birth. This is the timeline of those one hundred years with key dates in his life and the subsequent road to canonisation in 2018. 1917 Oscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez was born in Ciudad Barrios on August 15th, into a family of modest means, the second of eight children of Santos Romero and Guadalupe de Jesús Galdámez. 1931 He left behind his apprenticeship to a local carpenter and entered the minor seminary in San Miguel, run by the Claretians. 1937 In January he began studies at the major seminary in San Salvador. In September he was sent to the Pío Latino College in Rome and studied for the priesthood at the Gregorian University. 1942 Romero was ordained priest in Rome on April 4th and then began studies for a doctorate on ascetical theology. 1943 With the intensification of World War II he was sent back to El Salvador, via Cuba where he was interned for three months, arriving in his home diocese of San Miguel in December. 1944 He celebrated his first Mass in Ciudad Barrios on January 11th. Soon afterwards he was appointed Parish Priest of Anamorós and subsequently as Pastor and Cathedral Administrator in San Miguel. There followed more than two decades of devoted priestly service to the Church in San Miguel. 1967 On April 4th Romero celebrated the silver jubilee of his ordination and received the title ‘Monsignor’. He left San Miguel behind and moved to San Salvador to take up the position of Secretary of the Salvadoran Bishops’ Conference.
