2011 40 Days Indy Fall Closing Rally

YOU ARE INVITED TO OUR BABY SHOWER & CLOSING RALLY

"Even in the midst of diffuculties and uncertainties, every person sincerely open to truth and goodness can, by the light of reason and the hidden action of grace, come to recognize in the natural law written in the heart (Rom 2:14-15) the sacred value of human life from its very beginning until its end, and can affirm the right of every human being to have this primary good respected to the highest degreee. Upon the recognition of this right, every human community and the political community itself are founded." (Gospel of Life, 2)

Come join us as we celebrate the gift of life at the end of these 40 Days of Life.

In deep appreciation for your prayers, fasting and support throughout these 40 Days, you are cordially invited to join our 
Baby Shower and Closing Rally Sunday April 1, from 4-6:00pm at the prayer vigil site 8590 Georgetown Road, Indianapolis.

We will serve refreshments and please consider bringing items to Sr. Diane's Birthline:

What is Birthline?
Birthline is a service for pregnant women in crisis and young mothers who have recently given birth. Through a network of volunteers, women experiencing crisis pregnancies receive immediate assistance on the telephone. Trained telephone counselors take the time to talk to these mothers and comfort them in their distress, while at the same time encouraging them to choose life for themselves and their unborn children.

Why should we support birthline and other Pro-life services?
We have been sent. For us, being at the service of life is not a boast but rather a duty born of our awareness of being "God's own people, that we may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called us out of darkness into his marvelous light." (cf 1 Peter 2:9). On our journey we are guided and sustained by the law of love: a love which has as its source and model the Son of God made man, who "by dying gave life to the world." (The Gosple of LIfe, #79)

What is needed?
Birthline can use just about anything that an infant needs, as long as it is in good condition!
Below is a list of possible items that can be donated:
  - All types of clothing for infants from birth through 2T
  - Portable baby beds, strollers, car seats, diapers and formula.
  - Maternity clothing of all sizes in needed!
  - Financial contributions are appreciated! Checks or money orders should be made out to the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.

We KNOW prayer and fasting hastens the end of abortion.
