On the first and third Saturday of

every month, a group of us travel

to Pittsburgh – to an East Liberty

abortion clinic– to pray intently

that the girls and women planning

to enter the clinic to end the lives

of their unborn babies will change

their minds. We are led by Fr.

Timothy Kruthaupt, who travels

from St. Peter’s Church in Browns-

ville and brings with him supplies and more of

those who are willing to stand up for Life.

The Big Question – Do we save babies and

mothers? For several years now, we Catholics

from several churches have taken part in the 40

Days Campaign, two 40-day periods during the

year to stand in support of unborn children in

front of abortion clinics.

This international effort has resulted in 14,643

lives being saved over the last seven years.

On one occasion, when Fr. Frank Pavone of

Priests for Life was standing outside a clinic in

Orlando, Flori-

da, saying the Rosary, a Catholic

girl inside the clinic was so moved

that she came out of the clinic and

decided to keep her baby. A few

months later, Fr. Pavone again

visited Florida and, while there, it

was arranged that he would bap-

tize the child whose life he had

had helped to save.

We don’t see many turn-arounds,

but we have witnessed some. As prayer wor-

shippers, we are there primarily to offer trou-

bled women a way out of their decision to kill

their babies.

We’ve heard stories of women who show up at

the clinics holding an infant, explaining that a

few months earlier they had been there to abort

their unborn child but had changed their minds

when they saw us praying and offering help.

You do not need money to join us. You only

need a free morning to be part of a life-saving

cause. Transportation is provided. Contact me

at 724-465-2827. Br. Ray Micco How prepared are you--really?

Today you're healthy. But what about tomorrow? What if you, or your spouse, were to become physically or mentally incapacitat-ed? Assistance might be needed with daily activities at home or nursing care. 70% of people over age 65 will

require long term care during

their lifetime. (U.S. Department

of Health & Human Services)

The average individual can

spend up to $74,825 per year

for long term care expenses.

(Consumer's Guide to Long Term

Care Insurance)

The average stay in a nursing

home is two and one half

years. (Department of Health &

Human Services - 2010)

40% of people needing long

term care are under age 65.

(The Consumer's Guide to Long

Term Care Insurance)

Could you or your children

take care of this $150,000+

potential cost?

Please contact me to learn more

about how the Knights of Colum-

bus Long Term Care program

can help you.
