Next weekend, Saturday, October 13th at the 5 PM Mass and Sunday, October 14th at the 9:30 AM Mass, we will be having the Rite for the Blessing of a Child in the Womb. The Rite for the Blessing of a Child in the Womb was "crafted to support parents awaiting the birth of their child, to encourage parish prayers for -- and recognition of -- the precious gift of the child in the womb, and to foster respect for human life in society." (USCCB)

If you are expecting a child, please consider attending one of these Masses next weekend. And may we all remember to pray for mothers, fathers and babies around the world at all times and especially during Respect for Life month!
