St. Euphrasia Church Celebrates Fiftieth Anniversary: We will celebrate our Fiftieth Anniversary on Saturday, February 2 and there will be hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and fellowship beginning at 6:30 p.m. Dinner will be at 7:30 p.m. There will be music and danc-ing throughout the evening.

The Sanctity of Life! On January 22, we will observe the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision (Row vs. Wade) that permitted abortion throughout our country, virtually unobstructed. The Supreme Court decided two cases that have resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of

unborn babies. Also, Doe vs. Bolton legalized abortion throughout pregnancy in 1973. These decisions allowed the death of as many as one of three children born in following generations and made abortion legal up to the day of birth in all 50 states! While this is a moment to reflect upon the 55 million unique human lives that have been lost during these years, we cannot take time to be somber people. Instead, we need to come together and advocate for an end to the most important human rights issue of our day. Abortion takes the lives of more people around the world than any other social injustices. For example, Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortion in the U.S., performs one abortion every 91 sec-onds and last year received over one-half billion dollars of U.S. tax dollars. Never let us tire in our struggle to save the lives of God’s smallest children and pray this prayer for the Helpless Unborn: Heavenly Fa-ther, You create men in Your own image and You desire that not even the least among us should perish. In Your love for us, You entrusted your only Son to the Holy Virgin Mary. Now, in your love, protect against the wickedness of the devil, these little ones to whom you have given the gift of life.

“for my soul is wearied because of them that are slain.” (Jeremiah 4:31)
