40 Days for Life & Respect Life at Saint Agnes

40 Days for Life

Saint Agnes will be participating in the 40 Days for Life campaign in Boston, February 10th - March 20th! 40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that draws attention to the evils of abortion through the use of prayer and fasting, prayer vigil, and community outreach. 40 Days for Life takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families.

Please join Saint Agnes Parishioners for Life as we participate in 40 Days for Life this Lent! Saint Agnes will be leading a rosary hour each Saturday morning from 7-8 am, and also Sunday afternoons from 2-3 pm at Planned Parenthood in Boston during the campaign. For carpooling, please meet in the public parking lot adjacent to Saint Agnes Church at 6:30 am on Saturdays, and 1:20 pm on Sundays. If you have any questions, e-mail Eileen Cahill (SAParishforLife [at] gmail.com).

Saint Agnes Parishioners for Life Meeting
The next Parishioners for Life Meeting will be Monday, March 14th at 7pm in the Saint Agnes Parish Center. All in the community are welcome to join. If you are interested in helping with our work, but can’t make the meeting, please e-mail SAParishforLife@gmail.com so we can keep you informed of local prolife activity.

How can we be PRO-life every day?

By maintaining a positive attitude towards others,

appreciating the unique person that God has created in each individual,

reaching out in kindness and compassion,

praying for the unborn, disabled and elderly,

and giving alms to the poor, marginalized, and vulnerable in our society.

“Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for Me.”Matthew 25:40

LOCAL Natural Family Planning

Attention Married Couples!  Would you like…

• a natural, hormone-free way to postpone pregnancy?
• to start a family or have another child?
• to improve communication with your spouse?
• to learn more about church teaching on "the Theology of the Body?"
• to understand why the Bishops were so unsettled by the HHS mandate?

Natural Family Planning (NFP) is an organic, chemical-free method that is just as effective as the Pill at postponing pregnancy and nearly twice as effective as IVF for achieving pregnancy. The divorce rate among couples that practice NFP is less than 2%.

Want to learn more? Josh and Meredith Phelps are certified teachers of a 3-class NFP series, offered in our locale! For sign-ups, details, or questions about dates, please email Meredith.Phelps [at] gmail.com.
