Join us on May 24 in the St. Anthony Room to ask questions and learn how you can help stop the proposed constitutional amendment to expand and enshrine abortion access in Ohio! Click here for more information!
There are two proposed amendments to the Ohio constitution that are coming up this year that has caused some confusion. The first amendment is a joint resolution that was passed by the Ohio Senate and House last week. This amendment is to increase the threshold of the required percentage of votes to change the constitution, from 50% to 60%. This amendment will be voted on in a special election on August 8th. We should vote YES on this amendment because changing the constitution is not the right vehicle for establishing laws on life issues such as abortion, gender changing medical procedures, and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). Increasing the threshold will make it more difficult for the pro-abortion groups to pass their abortion amendment this Fall.
The second amendment is the “Right to Reproductive Freedom” proposal which will be voted on November 7th. This amendment would essentially open the door for legalizing abortion at any time, eliminating parental consent or notification for minors, and permitting gender changing medical procedures. For this amendment we want to vote NO.
Upcoming Events:
May 23rd, Pro-Life rosary at 7:00 pm in the Main Church, meeting at 7:30 pm in the Undercroft Library.

Our Pro-Life Group meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7 pm in the church to pray a Pro-Life Rosary. The Pro-Life Rosary is a beautiful way to pray for the unborn children and all who are affected by abortion. It is often prayed on a five decade rosary with different colored beads for different intentions, but any colored rosary will work. All are welcome to join us in person or at home.
