”The Pro-Life movement is devoted to furthering the dignity of life from conception to natural death through prayer and various activities throughout the year.” Join the mailing list here.
You are invited to join the St. Joseph community for one hour of prayer on the sidewalk in front of the abortion clinic in St. Louis as part of the 40 Days for Life prayer vigil run by the Coalition for Life St. Louis. Our parish adopted the day of March 24 to fill the sidewalk with pray-ers from 7 AM to 7 PM. It takes courage to come out the first time, in visible support for the unborn, against the popular culture of today. But if we don't, who will? We participate in this prayer vigil twice per year. Once during Lent, and the other in the fall. Please consider making a Lenten sacrifice of your time, and sign up for one hour. There is a signup board in the back of church, or you can sign up online. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP OR FOR MORE INFORMATION.
