A Prayer for the Closing of the Abortion Mill in Naples
FATHER, All Life is in Your care, You have entrusted us to one another that we may show our brothers and sisters the same love You have for us.  We pray, then, FOR THE LEAST among us, the CHILDREN IN THE WOMB.  Protect them from the Violence of Abortion.  We pray for those that are scheduled to die at “THE NAPLES PLANNED PARENTHOOD”. Save them from death, give NEW HOPE to their Parents, that they may turn away from the desperate act of abortion. Grant Conversion to the abortionist and to the staff.  Show us how we are to respond to the bloodshed in our midst, and lead us to the day when this place of death will be transformed into a Haven of LIFE. Guard us with your Joy and your Peace, for in You, LIFE is VICTORIOUS.  We pray in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord.  Amen.

Ave Maria Respect Life Committee

PARISH COMMITMENT MONDAY
Every Monday, abortions are performed at Planned Parenthood on the corner of Creech & Goodlette-Frank Rd., and every Monday, between ten and fifteen babies are killed there. The diocesan Respect Life Office has requested that each parish pick one Monday a month when they would commit to bringing as many people as possible to the Planned Parenthood sidewalk to pray. Aware of the great distance, and the sacrifice this entails for our parishioners, we have chosen the 5th Mondays, of which there are only four in the coming year.  To sign-up and for information, call Joanne Hallenbeck at (239) 384-6935. While you don’t have to sign-up, it is important for us to know whether all the hours will be covered.

Ave Maria Respect Life Committee meets on the third Wednesday of the month, 7 pm at the Rhodora J Donahue Academy.
