Pro-Life Corner
The month of January commemorates the unfortunate passage of Roe vs Wade on January 22, 1973. Since this ruling there have been an estimated 61 million babies put to death by abortion. There are two activities that St. Matthew’s Pro-Life group is coordinating for us to participate in the nationwide prayer for the unborn.
The 9-Day Novena for Life, from January 21 to 29, is sponsored by the USCCB. Each day’s prayer intention is accompanied by a short reflection and suggested actions to build a culture of life. You can sign up for a daily email/text reminder HERE, or just visit the site each day to view the prayers and reflections. Please join us for this novena.

The Day of Prayer and Fasting for the Protection of the Unborn is on January 22nd as designated by the USCCB. There are three ways for us to join Catholics across the country in seeking God’s mercy and intervention to change, as Pope Francis terms it, our “throw away culture.”
- MASS: Attend the official mass of the Roman Missal for the unborn being said at St. Matthew Church, January 22nd at the 8:30 am daily mass.
- ADORATION: Attend adoration anytime throughout the day which begins immediately after the 8:30 am mass until 7:00 pm. Each hour of adoration will begin with a pro-life rosary. Sign up for adoration at this link https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c48a4af29a1fd0-respect.
- FAST: for example, consider eating 1 meal for the day or abstaining from coffee, dessert, social media, etc.
