Catholic Pro-Life Committee

Greetings and blessings to you! Thanks to all who came to the Parish Coordinator meeting this month at St. Francis Anglican Church. We had 35 in attendance, of which 18 were parish coordinators. As we all know, May is an extremely social month: weddings, graduations, Confirmations, First Communions, Mother's Day, etc., but we certainly appreciate all those who came, despite our sometime hectic schedules. This is a good opportunity for you to meet and visit your fellow parcoors and CPLC staff members. Several of you have expressed interest in our "Open Microphone" portion where you have an opportunity to voice your opinion or inform other coordinators of some pro-life issue or event in your parish. Please mark your calendar for our next meeting on Saturday, August 9. I hope to see both new and familiar faces there. Location TBA.

A not-to-be missed event is the 6th Annual CPLC Volunteer Appreciation Day Picnic on Saturday, June 14, at the lovely home of Bill and Carol Orender. This event is for all CPLC staff, parish coordinators, and anyone who has volunteered their time and talent to the work of the Catholic Pro-Life Committee in the last 12 months. Families are most welcome! Come and go anytime between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., or stay for the day! There will be plenty of food and fun. Please RSVP to Milissa at the CPLC office to inform her of the number attending: 972-267-LIFE (2433) or cplc@prolifedallas.org.

• June 6 and July 4: First Friday All-Night Adoration for the 2008 elections at the Carmelite Monastery
