Our Lady of Pompeii Respect Life Committee - 2015
The Respect Life Committee would like to invite everyone to take a moment to stop by the Respect Life sign in the front of the church (Our Lady of Pompeii Parish, 158 Laverack Ave, Lancaster, NY 14086). A lovely new "Garden for Life" has been established. A wonderful reminder to all, that God had you in His mind even before He created you. It's meant to encourage choices FOR LIFE as well as PRAYER for guidance and healing. Stop by and say a prayer! It's a beautiful spot to bring children to pray as well! We ask that you pray for the end of abortion and for the respect for every human life, from conception through natural death.
