May the Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace!” AMEN+

Happy Independence Day and may God bless America!

Wishing you a safe and relaxing day among loved ones.

Let's appreciate everything we have and celebrate the great miracle of freedom. Our freedom required a lot of sacrifices; we should never take it for granted. A big salute to all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our independence!

HONORING FATHERS EVERYWHERE!

Whether you are a biological dad, an adopted dad, a stepdad, or a foster dad, we are wishing Dads across the world a very happy Father's Day!

Let us all cherish the memories shared and give thanks for the positive impact they have made in our life.

"Every child's first Superhero is their Father"

Happy Mother’s Day and a great thank you to all mothers throughout the world!

Thank you for the ultimate gift–life! .....and for your labor, love, sacrifice, and bravery everyday.

This Mother’s Day may we also honor and recognize the strength, courage and sacrifice of birth mothers. These courageous woman chose life in difficult circumstances, and made an adoption plan for their baby. Adoption isn’t a birth mother’s rejection, but an unconditional love, a selfless love to do all she can for her baby.

"Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate." - Proverbs 31:31

On Saturday, May 13th there will be a Fun Run/Walk to benefit Divine Mercy Care. See details in the attached flyer.

On January 22nd each year, we celebrate National Sanctity of Human Life Day, which recognizes the value of every human life. Today, churches throughout the United States will observe a day of prayer particularly for the Sanctity of Human Life, “ Giving Thanks to God for the Gift of Human Life” May all unborn children be protected in law and welcomed in love!

HOW TO OBSERVE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE DAY
Many churches hold prayer vigils around the country. They also collect items for newborns and new moms to support them. Donate items such as formula, baby clothes, cribs, blankets and toys to support these causes. Some organizations offer resources for baby care classes, daycare, job training, and adoptions and more.

SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE DAY HISTORY
President Ronald Reagan first proclaimed National Sanctity of Human Life Day in 1984 to be observed on the Sunday closest to January 22nd. The first observance took place on the 11th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. Since 1984, Presidents George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Donald J. Trump have proclaimed the day during their presidencies.

NATIONAL SAFE HAVEN ALLIANCE

Did you know that each year in the United States, many babies are abandoned?

HELP spread the word and Please share this 24 HOUR HOTLINE NUMBER 1-888-510-BABY, text “safehaven” to 313131

The Safe Haven Laws allow a parent to anonymously surrender their unharmed infant to a designated Safe Haven provider within a specific time after birth.

This hotline provides specialized intervention for new parents in crisis situations and also refers women in crisis pregnancies to local PHCs.

We wanted to share the good news that Safe Haven legislation provides parents a safe way to relinquish their infant to a safe and healthy place. The National Safe Haven Alliance works to promote these laws and to increase awareness on both local and national levels. They provide training, conferences, and all the information needed to help promote awareness in the community to ensure that women and babies in need can take advantage of these life saving laws.

God bless our fallen American heroes!

Today we honor and remember their sacrifice and service -- where America's servicemen and women have defended freedom and our country.

This Mother’s Day may we also honor and recognize the strength, courage and sacrifice of birth mothers. We must rally around these courageous woman who choose life in difficult circumstances, when other options may seem easier. Adoption isn’t a birth mother’s rejection, but an unconditional love that inspires her to put herself last and do all she can for her baby.

Parenting Plan or Adoption Plan, we can help! For Confidential Assistance call Gabriel Project at (866) 444-3553 and learn how we might be of service. To learn more, go to H4PW.org. Over 2 million couples wait to adopt - including children of all races and those with special needs.

Happy Mother's Day!

A special Mother's Day tribute to the great sacrifices mothers make thousands of times every day. It is truly the little things that matter most, so let's take time to reflect on all the reasons we have to be thankful for the special women in our lives.

"The most important person on earth is a mother. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral – a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby’s body. The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share in God’s creative miracle to bring new saints to heaven. Only a human mother can. Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other creature; God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of creation … What on God’s good earth is more glorious than this: to be a mother?"

~ Cardinal Mindszenty
