For January, the Blessed Margaret of Castello chapter is doing something different; we are going to participate in the March for Life, to witness our commitment to the poorest and most marginalized among us, the pre-born child.
we will meet at 11:00 AM Saturday, January 19, at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist for a rosary, followed by a special mass at 11:30 AM. after mass we will go to the Julia Davis Park banshell, where the March for Life begins at 1:00 PM and works its way to City Hall for the presentations. At 2:00 PM we will return to the Cathedral where there will be a reception. Chapter members will stay after the reception for a brief meeting to discuss life.
I understand that Fr. Flores, pastor of Our Lady of the Valley, will be the mass celebrant; last year his homily was outstanding, you won't want to miss it! The speaker at City Hall will be Brandi Swindell, so this promises to be an outstanding event.
Update: Our Lady of the Valley's Fr Jorge Ramirez, not Fr. Flores, will be saying mass for the March for Life. This will be outstanding!

Br. Dismas,
ReplyDeleteare you the Br. Dismas at St. Albert's, Oakland? If so, hope you can visit us sometime! We've got 2 Newman Centers; you can have your pick, BSU and U of I.

ReplyDeleteYup! I've actually visited Idaho a fair number of times, and U of I especially, before I entered the order. Back then, I was in Salt Lake City.
