Students at the Diocesan Youth Rally visited the Respect Life table to spiritually adopt a baby in danger of abortion. The students were invited to name their child and pray for the baby for 9 months. Each received Archbishop Fulton Sheen's Spiritual Adoption Prayer and entered the baby's name in the "Book of Life" which was presented at closing Mass. Some students were creative and used their name tags as baby holders: Sydney and Ciara LeRoy (Malone), Hannah Belknap (Hammond), Maggie Marceau (Malone), Liam O'Neil (Massena).
The Respect Life & Youth Ministry Offices are co-sponsoring two regional LIFE days for high school students: Friday, May 17th at IHC in Watertown and Saturday, May 18th St. Bernard's Church in Saranac Lake 9AM-4PM.
Saturday’s Teen LIFE Day includes presentations by Kathleen Gallagher (NYS Catholic Conference), Dr. Jan Patterson (Gianna Center) & Nancy Belzile (Silent No More/40 Days for Life). Flyer coming soon!
Both days feature, Kate Maloney, Northeast Regional Coordinator for Students for Life of America. High school & college students are welcome, as well as seminarians.
More info to come but please Save The Date! #prolifegeneration
