OCTOBER IS RIGHT TO LIFE MONTH Your St. Francis Knights of Columbus will be collecting donations after Masses on Oct. 1 and 2, to support and build up a culture of life. Can you imagine life without just one of your children or grandchildren? Which one would you give up? Since Roe vs. Wade, 50 million babies have been aborted! Funds collected in October will go to our Culture of Life Fund, which provides local pregnancy centers with -of -the-art ultrasound machines, which cost $25,000. This nationwide effort has raised $6 million in the last three years, which resulted in the purchase and installation of 250 ultrasound machines. With the use of these machines, pregnant women considering an abortion can see a real life picture of the baby developing within them. Will you join us and support life? We need your moral and financial help. Remember too, to vote pro-life candidates in November to help preserve our religious freedom. Thank you for your consideration and prayers.
