With the Reproductive Freedom constitutional amendment on the ballot this November, your prayers are needed more than ever. Montgomery County officials are actively promoting and supporting abortions. Planned Parenthood reports that there is 75% no show rate at abortion clinics where there are prayers and the presence of peaceful, pro-life witnesses. Your presence can literally save a baby’s life!
The Fall 2024 Bethesda 40 Days for Life campaign will begin on Wednesday, September 25, 2023 and run through Sunday, November 3, 2023. St. Raphael’s is supporting the campaign by praying a rosary on the public sidewalk in front of the CARE Abortion Clinic at the Wildwood Medical Center, 10401 Old Georgetown Road, in Bethesda, each Saturday from 10 am-4 pm. For more information, see https://www.40daysforlife.com/en/bethesda.
Please sign up to pray with your fellow St. Raphael’s parishioners at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/904044BADA72EABF85-40days . For security reasons, please do not go alone, but always bring a friend with you or make sure someone has signed up for your time slot.
Please meet in the vestibule after the 9 am Mass on Saturdays, if you have questions or need help with directions. What could be more important than protecting the lives of innocent babies and their mothers from the devasting effects of abortion? If you won’t protect them, who will?
