We are about to begin the first full week of our 40 Days for Life, tomorrow, and you are invited to join us in prayer and fasting to end abortion! If you would like to pray at the vigil, at Planned Parenthood on Ralston in Ventura, from 7am to 7pm, 7 days a week, visit our web site to sign up on the schedule: www.40daysforlife.com/ventura, (or just come by).

Our schedule is starting to look a little more healthy! We have some terrific groups coming to pray, including the Santa Clara Legion of Mary, Sacred Heart's Blue Army, Knights of Columbus, Thomas Aquinas College students (wonderfully organized by Chrissy Van Schoick!!), Community Presbyterian Church, and a multi-parish group praying the rosary in Spanish! Check the schedule to see what will work for you - you are always welcome to join an existing group, or come with your own family or group. We need you!

The 40 Days for Life Mass was well attended; we were blessed to have both Fr. Bob Garon and Fr. Paul Raftery concelebrate. A big thank you to Mrs. Marya Krestyn and her choir who provided beautiful music, and thank you also to our sacristan and altar servers. God bless you all for helping to start our 40 Days the most wonderful way possible!
