Hello Pro-life Heroes,
I hope you are all having an enjoyable summer.
We again invite all of you to join us for the annual Pro-Life Legislative Luncheon on Saturday, August 20 at the AOH Hall in Redford. Doors open at 10:30 am with the event to run from 11 am-1:30 pm. Luncheon attendees raved about the 2021 event with Evangelical radio host Bob Dutko and State Sen. Lana Theis and I am even more excited about this year’s Luncheon! It will be the greatest opportunity any of us will have to become educated on how best to fight against the addition of an unlimited right to abortion in the Michigan State Constitution this November. Rebecca J. Mastee, J.D. the Pro-Life Policy Advocate for the Michigan Catholic Conference (MCC) will give the keynote address. Alongside Right to Life of Michigan, the MCC is spearheading the Citizens to Support Michigan Women and Children coalition which includes LIFESPAN as a member. Ms. Mastee provides an inside voice on the work of the coalition. Rev. Dr. Richard Zeile of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Taylor will offer the Closing Invocation and a Scriptural reflection on protecting the unborn. A local Catholic priest will offer the Opening Invocation. Really play this one up as many people as possible must know what is at stake in the November 2022 General Election in Michigan.
LIFESPAN’s 2000 Crosses display will be up at Our Lady of Sorrows in Farmington from September 1-15 and at Our Lady of Good Counsel in Plymouth from October 27-November 17. St. Aidan in Livonia was previously hosted back from May 19-June 2. It has been/will be up at 9 different churches in Oakland County in 2022. The white metal crosses representing the preborn children killed by abortion in America bear a powerful witness to church members and the general public alike. If you have never seen them before, I encourage you to take the opportunity. More importantly, we would love to have more church communities within the Chapter host the 2000 Crosses! The display rotates from church to church between April and November. Donna Jazkowski coordinates the display for LIFESPAN. Please call Donna at (248) 393-5766 or e-mail her at djaz28@comcast.net to discuss hosting the display in 2023.
Be sure to share the candidates’ responses in LIFESPAN’s Primary Election Candidate Survey from the July LIFESPAN News with others. Primary Election Day is Tuesday, Aug. 2.
VOTE PRO-LIFE!
Yours in LIFE,
Timothy Pruse
Wayne County Chapter Director
