A reminder that our next Helper’s prayer gathering will be on Saturday January 5, 2019, if you need a ride, please call me at 812-841-0060.

Roe V Wade Prayer Observance
Because many of us are unable to attend the March for Life in Washington DC on Friday January 18, 2019 or the Indiana March for Life on Tuesday January 22, 2019, I will be hosting/co-hosting two Prayer Observance events as follows;
Terre Haute Roe v Wade Prayer Vigil is Saturday January 19, 2019 12:00 PM (noon)
Brazil Roe v Wade Prayer Vigil Sunday January 20, 2019 1:00 PM
40 Days for Life – Spring 2019
The spring 40 Days for Life is during the Lent season. The actual dates are March 6 through April 14. This means we will be asked to cover the Saturday April 5 hours from 9:00 am UNTIL 2:00 pm.
Reunion
As we experienced over the last ten years many Helpers relocate or have a change in their schedule that does not allow them to attend. Many Helpers that have experienced this have mentioned to me they like to come even if it once a year. I am thinking that May 4, 2019 would be a good Saturday for us to mark on the calendar and meet up for Helpers in Bloomington. There is another option and that is where ever duty calls you to be on the first Saturday of the month, you can pray along with us. I have attached our prayers if anyone is able to pray along with us.
Thank you all for your prayers and support.
Spread your love for life,
Tom of the Holy Family
Missionary Servants of the Gospel of Life

The Helpers of God’s Precious Infants are a group of people committed to maintaining a loving and prayerful presence outside of the abortion mills, where God’s children are put to death. We unite ourselves with these victims in solidarity with their pain, as they are put to death at this modern day Calvary. We pray in reparation for the injustice being performed on their tiny bodies. Just as Mary and John lovingly stood and prayed beneath Jesus’ Cross as he died, we wish to remain with these children in the hour that they are crucified. Most of all, we love the unborn children who will be brought there that day. These children have been rejected by their parents, and are doomed to die. The only human love they may ever encounter in their short lives may be from those of us standing outside. www.helpersny.org

40 Days for Life – Bloomington
During the 40 Days for Life campaign, our two Saturday coverages the Planned Parenthood office was closed. Our coordinator, Monica, sent out a special thank-you to a group of men that gave up sleep to hold an overnight vigil every Thursday evening into Friday morning. In addition, there were two (2) babies saved at the Bloomington Planned Parenthood out of 460 saved around the World during this fall’s 40 Days for Life campaign. Wow, this prayer, fasting and public witness to the Gospel of Life really works! “I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you.” (Romans 1:8)

Christmas in the Park Setup
2018-11-24 10:00 - 14:00 | Deming Park
Brother Knights;

Just a quick reminder that Christmas in the Park setup will begin on Saturday, November 24th.

We’ll first be loading up all the materials from my office at 9 am to take to Deming Park. My office is at 2001 N. Hunt Street but you’ll want to enter the back lot off of Old Maple Avenue.

After things have been loaded the action will shift to Deming Park where setup will begin around 10 am.

It takes many hands to make this project happen, so please step up to pitch in with our Christmas in the Park display.

God bless,

GK Bret Ridgway

Marian Prayer Service Color Guard

Sir Knights;

Combining the Order’s devotion to Mary and it’s efforts to protect and defend persecuted Christians in the Middle East and throughout the world, a featured Faith in Action activity is the Marian Prayer Program. Indiana has received two icons of Our Lady Help of Persecuted Christians which will make pilgrmages to every council in the state as the centerpiece of special prayer services at our parishes.

The very first Marian Prayer Service to Our Lady Help of Persecuted Christians will be conducted by Father John Hollowell at St. Paul the Apostle in Greencastle on Sunday, November 18. The prayer service will be at 1 pm.

Following the 11 am Mass, Council 6989 will host a lunch and the prayer service will begin at 1 pm. The service will be approximately 45 minutes. An invitation will
also be issued to Archbishop Thompson inviting him to attend and State Deputy Paul Zielinski will attend.

We request an honor guard to process the icon into the prayer service. The icon is very impressive, gold framed and approximately four feet tall. An invitation is also
issued to the members of the Assembly to fully participate in the prayer service. This is an oppoprtunity to witness to the faith and actions of our Order.

Thanking you for all your support. Please let us know if you are able to participatein this important event.

Vivat Jesus!
