CATHOLICS UNITED TO PROTECT AND SUPPORT WOMEN, CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

Proposition 1 is a worst-case scenario for abortion in

California. It is an expensive and misleading ballot measure that allows unlimited late-term abortions — for any reason, at any time, even moments before birth, paid for by tax dollars.

Prop 1 isn’t needed. Sadly, California already has some of the most permissive abortion laws in the nation, but with

reasonable limits on late-term abortions — which will still be allowed without the amendment for the life and health of the mother.

Prop 1 destroys this common-sense limit.

California does not limit state spending on abortion, and with thousands more traveling from other states, the cost will be in the hundreds of millions.

Don’t hand lawmakers a blank check to pay for abortions, and don’t let them make California an “abortion sanctuary.”

We will have our November PTG meeting on November 16 at 6 PM in the school library. If you are unable to attend in person, you may use the Google Meet link by clicking here. The link is also on the school calendar. Minutes from our October meeting can be found by clicking here.

We have had a few parents meeting students at the cafeteria doors with lunches. In order to keep our students safe, we kindly ask that ALL lunches be dropped off at the school office.

We all have a vocation in life. Some of us have a vocation to marriage, serving the poor, some of us have the God given talent to sing or play an instrument at church. As you talk to your children, share with them the Vocation of Consecrated life and the Priesthood. I have included some videos that you can share with your children on two really cool young people that have given their life to Christ.

Finally, please pray for our Priests, Sisters, Seminarians and lay people that serve our faithful and are in our community witnesses of the Gospel message.

Prayer for your children: O Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom and divine love, impart your knowledge, understanding, and counsel to youth that they may know the vocation wherein they can best serve God. Give them courage and strength to follow God's holy will. Guide their uncertain steps, strengthen their resolutions, shield their chastity, fashion their minds, conquer their hearts, and lead them to the vineyards where they will labor in God's holy service. Amen.
