CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY APPEAL
The
Catholic University of America is the national University of the Catholic
Church in the United States, located in Washington, DC. It provides an
academically rigorous education guided by the Catholic intellectual
tradition to nearly 7,000 students every year.
This weekend, as part of the National Collection for the
Catholic University, we will be accepting donations for the University. Your
support will enable Catholic University to expand its impact in preparing
the next generation of leadership in our Church and nation. Please be
generous.
FROM RIGHT TO LIFE
“The
right created by the Supreme Court in Roe is a constitutional right of some
human beings to kill other human beings. I do not mean for my descript-tion
to be provocative, but simply direct – blunt about facts. One need not
presume that the human fetus has a right not to be killed in order to
recognize that, as a descriptive matter, Roe creates a right for one class
of human beings to kill other human beings.” (University
of St. Thomas Law professor Michael Paulson).
PROTECTION FOR THE UNBORN:
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has declared Monday, January 22, 2018,
a National Day of Prayer and Penance for the Legal Protection of Unborn
Children. The Diocesan Mass for Life will take place on Monday, January
22, at 10:30am at the Cathedral, with The Most Rev. Martin J. Amos,
Retired Bishop of Davenport, Iowa, as celebrant. All are invited to
participate and pray for an end to abortion.
LATIN AMERICA - EL SALVADOR
We will
be accepting donations for Latin American Missions and El Salvador next
weekend. This is the only appeal made by the Diocesan Mission Office for
the Cleveland Latin American Mission in El Salvador. It is the main support
for two diocesan priests who work in the two parishes served by our Mission
Office. This appeal also makes a contribution to the Collection for the
Church in Latin America that is managed by the US Conference of Catholic
Bishops and benefits projects and the formation of seminarians, religious
and lay leaders in 23 countries across Latin America. Please be generous.
