40 Days for Life Prayer Outside Planned Parenthood - October 10 and 24

From Mike Kozak:

St. Bridget Respect Life Committee is inviting all parishioners to pray outside Planned Parenthood

October 10 and Oct. 24 from 9-10 a.m., both Saturday mornings.

 it is possible that October 10 is going to be another day of nationwide protest outside Planned Parenthood offices. If it's the same time as the one in August that Monsignor attended, it would impact that 9-10 hour of prayer.  Parishioners are welcome to attend the protest if this occurs.
