YOUTH PILGRIMAGE TO MARCH FOR LIFE
JANUARY 25-28 | WASHINGTON, D.C.
6TH-12TH GRADE
The March for Life began in
Washington, D.C., as a small
demonstration and rapidly grew to be the largest
pro-life event in the world. The peaceful
demonstration that has followed on the somber
anniversary of Roe v. Wade every year since
1973 is a witness to the truth concerning the
greatest human rights violation of our time,
legalized abortion on demand.
All middle and high school youth are invited to
join us as we travel down to Washington, D.C. to
peacefully pray for a world where every human
life is valued and protected. Please visit
olmmparish.org/march-for-life for more
information or to register.
Please contact Chris Fortin with any questions.

Has Something
Changed??
Have you
moved, or
changed your phone
number? Do you now use

can update our records!
Thanks!
Below are just a couple of the CD titles available in our Lighthouse Media Collection:
Can You Trust God?
Since the fall of our first parents, humanity has been tempted to mistrust the love that God the Father has for us. Scripture scholar Dr. Tim Gray takes us on a journey that addresses the pervasive misconceptions that God is quick to anger, that the God of the Old and New Testaments are different, and that God doesn’t have a merciful heart for us. You will see that you can trust our heavenly Father, who is truly one with his Son.
The Necessity of Divine Mercy
Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, reveals the urgency to live and share the powerful message of Divine Mercy. He explains the basics of the Divine Mercy feast, image, novena, chaplet, and hour of mercy, and how to incorporate them into your spiritual life. In this Year of Mercy, discover God’s transformative message of Divine Mercy.
We kindly ask for a donation of $4.00 per book (or otherwise specified suggested donation), $3.00 per CD, $2.00 per booklet and $0.50 per pamphlet so that we may continue this program. Please make all checks out to “OLMM.” Won’t you reach out and help bring someone home?
Highlighting Our Advertisers Did you know that Murphy, Powers & Wilson, Certified Public Accountants , P.C. advertises on the back pages of our bulletin? Any business you give them benefits our parish in the publication
