SHOOTING STARS!
Volunteers from Crossroads, a national collegiate pro-life or-
ganization that sponsors a pro-life walk across Canada each
summer, will be visiting the parish the weekend of May 31 &
June 1 and speaking briefly at the end of all the weekend
Masses.
Crossroads was started in 1995 in response to Pope St. John
Paul II’s words at World Youth Day in 1993 when he chal-
lenged the youth of the World to “be not afraid to take the gos-
pel of Life to the streets like the first Apostles.” Taking the
Holy Father’s challenge literally for past 19 years, students
from colleges and universities across North America have been
walking the highways and byways of Canada and the U.S. each
summer and working to help build a Culture of Life. Their mis-
sion as they walk is to take the pro-life message to the streets
through their prayerful and peaceful pro-life witness.
This summer, volunteer college students will be walking
thousands of kilometers with Crossroads on their four simulta-
neous Summer 2014 pro-life walks. The walks started in Van-
couver, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles on May 24th
and will end with simultaneous pro-life rallies in Ottawa and
Washington, DC on August 16.
If you would more information about Crossroads or would like
to support their efforts please visit www.crossroadswalk.org -
Thank you.

electrical) and would like to donate your time, this would help
us by reducing labor costs for building upkeep. To volunteer or
obtain more information please call us and we would be happy
to arrange a tour of the building and discuss our needs.

A woman’s mental picture of “mother” is determined first of all by her own mother. Her perception of her mother will attach meanings to her own sense of herself as a maternal person. In many cases, the choice to abort is subconsciously driven by a need to act out mother-daughter conflicts. Forbidden Grief by Theresa Burke, Ph.D. & David Reardon, Ph.D. We can help you find your true sense of self through a Rachel’s Vineyard™ Retreat. Give yourself that gift from God.
