The Knights of Columbus will be providing a volunteer work crew for the United Way Day of Action on Friday, July 27th from 8:30 to Noon. A free breakfast is available beforehand at Maryland Community Church on Hwy. 46 at 7:30 am.
The project we have selected this year is the Lake La Fer Beautification Project at St. Mary of the Woods. A description of this project is below. We need at least 8 Knights to step up to help with this project. Please email info@THKofC541.com if you can assist. Thank you.
Description

We have recently added a walking trail around Lake Le Fer. We are now ready to add mulch and seating areas, including park benches and picnic tables.
We will provide gloves, wheel barrows, and some shovels and rakes. If volunteers have a shovel or rake to bring along, that would be welcome.
Meet in the parking lots by Knoerle Center and the Library on campus.
How will this project impact Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College?
This area is open to not only our campus community, but to the public as well. We want to encourage visitors to come enjoy our campus. This area will also be used as an “outdoor classroom” for students studying environmental science, biology, etc.

As the kickoff to our new member drive we will be inserting into the bulletin of each of the 5 parishes we serve a flyer that contains information about just some of the activities our local Knights of Columbus Council #541 has been involved in over the past year.

Waiting on Indiana State Department of Health Terminated Pregnancy Report
As mentioned last month, we are waiting on the Terminated Pregnancy Report for 2017 and I think why I am a little impatient because this will be the first full year since Planned Parenthood has closed in Terre Haute along with the location movement of our local Crisis Pregnancy Center.
Some feedback from the Bloomington Planned Parenthood Street Councilors
While we wait on the Terminated Pregnancy Report for 2017 the following is some feedback that the Bloomington Planned Parenthood Street Councilors shared with me:

The good news is that the number of women coming from Vigo County this year so far appears to be on the decline. However, there is a larger number from Evansville and southwest Indiana area since they have put in I-69.
The street councilors have recently noticed that lately there has been an unbelievable amount of women coming out after their abortion who are throwing up and in a great deal of pain. It was also pointed out that Planned Parenthood does not assist them or apparently care as Planned Parenthood does nothing about the situation.

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

If you no longer wish to receive these Terre Haute Helpers of God’s Precious Infant e-mail updates, please respond to this e-mail and you will be taken off of the list. Thank you and God bless you!
