Couple opposes death penalty even after the murder of their daughter
Vicki and Sylvester Schieber are great examples for all of us. It is sometimes easy to stand on principle and our shared values when we are not personally impacted. The difficulty is in standing firm in the faith of personal tragedy and pain!
The National Network of Abortion Funds is planning on sponsoring local bowl-a-thons in communities across the United States. The purpose of these events are to raise funds to help women pay for their abortions, help them buy bus or plane tickets, and even offer women a place to stay when they have to travel for an abortion.
The events are scheduled for the month of April and will take place all across the country. We need your help to contact the local bowling alleys listed below and ask them to withdraw their association from these events. Instead, urge them to support their local crisis pregnancy center. We have more to offer these women than money for an abortion!

CatholicVoteAction.org is organizing a petition drive to counter the attacks on the USPS decision to issue a new stamp honoring Mother Teresa. Atheist groups are mobilizing in an attempt to pressure the Postmaster General from going forward with the issuing of the stamp on honoring Mother Teresa for her tireless service to the poor.
The Great Prayer Project – End Abortion is simply this, starting March 25, 2010, the organizers hope to have one continuous year of prayer to end abortion. The way this objective will be achieved is by allowing individuals to sign up for 20 minute time slots and pray for an end to abortion during that time period.
Think that 20 minutes is a long time to pray??? Visit their prayer tips page for suggestions.

Sometimes it’s prayer that brings in the faithful, but a Kirkland Catholic church is counting on TV ads. Holy Family Catholic Church has funded a new television advertising campaign to reignite the faith with lapsed Catholics.
“Catholics have drifted away from the church and we hope these ads will remind them that we are here and available for them,” said Father Kurt Nagel.
