St John's Pro Life: Thank you thank you thank you!

Sunday 19 February 2012

Thank you thank you thank you!

Thanks to all you angelic people who helped out!

Having been away for the weekend, I've returned to the fantatastic news that the Pro Life Group cake sale this morning raised a wonderful £510 for Aila's Fund! Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who baked (or made cards or marmalade), everyone who helped sell, everyone who bought. It's a really amazing start to our fundraising efforts and Aila was blown away by everyone's generosity.

Thank you and God bless.

Updates on the Fund: our Diamond Jubilee Concert is now confirmed for Friday 1 June, 7.30pm in St John's RC Church, Horsham... do put the date in your diary if you can. News is soon to follow on how you can sponsor a friend and parishioner who will be cycling from London to John O'Groats in June.

O Mary, bright dawn of the new world, Mother of the living, to you do we entrust the cause of life: Look down, O Mother, upon the vast numbers of babies not allowed to be born, of the poor whose lives are made difficult, of men and women who are victims of brutal violence, of the elderly and the sick killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy. Grant that all who believe in your Son may proclaim the Gospel of life with honesty and love to the people of our time. Obtain for them the grace to accept that Gospel as a gift ever new, the joy of celebrating it with gratitude throughout their lives and the courage to bear witness to it resolutely, in order to build, together with all people of good will, the civilization of truth and love, to the praise and glory of God, the Creator and lover of life. AMEN

What we're all about

We are a group of parishioners from St John the Evangelist Catholic Church in the diocese of Arundel & Brighton who, through a mixture of our faith and our personal experiences, are convinced of the immeasurable value of each and every human life at every stage and through every challenge. "Blessed the man whose help comes from you, who has set his heart on reaching you. They pass through the valley of thirst and make a spring there: the morning rain will cover it with blessings." (Psalm 84)
