Roses for Life

Brothers, this weekend we will be handing out the roses for roses for life. We hand these out to parishioners on their way into Mass so they can fill them out and turn them in with the collection or after Mass. I will need Knights to help with this before and after Mass. I will make sure that the roses are up in the entry way at Holy Trinity to be handed out tonight and that pencils are in the pews. 

Also if you don't know on January 16 there is a "9 Days for Life" Novena starting. If you go to this website https://www.respectlife.org/9-days-daily-prayers you will find daily prayers and reflection laid out for the Novena. 

Catholics nationwide are invited to pray “9 Days for Life,” an annual Respect Life novena, starting Friday, January 16.

In the Catholic Church, a ‘novena’ consists of prayers over nine successive days, and this particular novena is an opportunity for prayer and penance in observance of the annual Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children on January 22.

All are invited to sign up! Participants may access the novena or subscribe to receive the daily prayers by email or text message in English at 9daysforlife.com or in Spanish at respectlife.org/9-dias-por-la-vida. 

The overarching intention of the novena is the end to abortion. Each daily prayer intention highlights a related topic and is accompanied by a reflection, educational information, and suggested daily actions. A resource kit is available, featuring the daily prayer intentions and reflections, in both English and Spanish. A press kit is also available.
