On January 22, 1973 a Supreme Court ruling known as Roe v. Wade effectively legalized abortion in the United States. For this reason, the month of January is often set aside as a month of prayer and activism for the legal protection of the unborn. To keep this intention in the minds and hearts of your parishioners and to accompany any prayer or activism efforts, FORMED has resources to help educate your parishioners on the dignity of life and the current social issues surrounding it.
Two of our Sacred Heart Bluefield Parishioners have traveled to Uganda on a 10 day Medical Missionary
trip. Please remember in your prayers for their safety and the success of their Mission Kim Matzel Brown
and David Duritza and their entire Missionary Team.
Jacques Chasse, son of Bob and Sandy Chasse, is attending Boremao Seminary as a first-year seminarian.
Please keep Jacques in your prayers as he discerns God’s calling. If you would like to send Jacques a card
or a note of encouragement his address is: Boremao Seminary, 28700 Euclid Avenue, Wickliffe, Ohio
