Mission San Luis Rey Parish Civic Action Ministry hosted a successful
culture of life rally last night. Fr. Peter did a wonderful faith
reflection on Catholic social teaching, and there was powerful
testimony from parishioners about waiting grueling hours in the
Tri-City emergency room, familiy members dying from smoking-related
cancer, stories of cancer and asthma from second-hand smoke, and
testimony from a woman that had an abortion when she was young
and has two daughters to think about now.
Sixty-five people attended. Seventeen volunteered to collect
signatures for the parental notification and tobacco tax initiatives,
and 8 volunteered to work on the "Insure Every Parish Child Campaign"
that begins this month.
Our Civic Action Ministry leaders did a spectacular job.
