Sanctity of Life
“In January we remember the annual date of legalized abortion on Jan. 22,” writes Father John Boeglin in the parish news-letter at Holy Family Church, Jasper.
“We continue to pray that more and more people will be convinced of the sanctity of life from the moment of conception until natural death. Our Catholic faith teaches us that the Lord is sole giver and taker of life.”
