SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT SAINT JAMES CATHOLIC SCHOOL PARISH LIFE Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers? Job 31:15 REFLECTION – On Feb 22, 2019 the Department of Health and Human Services announced that it finalized the “Protect Life Rule,” regulations for the federal Title X family planning program. We welcome all new families to the Hardin County area and offer a quality education where students can grow The Rule requires clear financial and physical academically, spiritually, and socially. Please visit us at separation between Title X funded projects and 401 Robinbrooke Blvd. , Elizabethtown, KY or online at programs or facilities where abortion is a method of www.sjschoolonline.org family planning. Archbishop Joseph Naumann, Chairman of the U.S. Committee on Pro-Life Activities, issued the following statement commending HHS: “I applaud the Trump Administration for reaffirming that abortion is not family planning. Abortion ends the lives of families’ most vulnerable members, as well as damaging the spiritual, mental and physical health of mothers. Although the USCCB continues to have strong objections to government promotion and funding of contraceptives, we have long supported enforcement of the abortion restrictions in Title X, and we are pleased to see that the Administrations has taken seriously its obligation to enforce those restrictions.”* PRAYER – Heavenly Father, may, Your children through prayers and good works, convert our country and the entire world to a love and respect for all human life, born and unborn. Ed Cecil, Respect Life Committee *(It has been estimated the new “Protect Life Rule” to Title X will cost Planned Parenthood $60,000,000 in revenue each year) Please Join Us!
