St.Albert the Great Pro-life Committee invites you to participate in the 2013 National Night of Prayer for Life which will be held in the Adoration Chapel, December 8th from 8:30 pm until 12 am. This is a
national event with the intent of ending abortion. There will be exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, recitation of the Holy Rosary and Benediction. You can attend at any time and stay for as long as you wish. You may pray with those in attendance or pray on your own. Among the vulnerable for whom the Church wishes to care with particular love and concern are unborn children, the most defenseless and innocent among us. It is not progressive to try to resolve problems by eliminating human life. (Pope Francis, EVANGELII GAUDIUM)
