What a great sign of hope - to see more than 12 churches represented on our Day 1 (Ash Wednesday, 2/22/12) of Everett 40 Days for Life among more than 24 prayer volunteers on a sunny day, a miracle in itself because the weather has been rainy, dreary & cold until early Wednesday morning.
Then of course, today is snowy! Hopefully, it won't stick too long.
Here are a list of upcoming events, prompted by Fr. Bloom's letter: please mark your calendar for May 12, 2012 for the Dinner Auction to benefit the Mary Bloom Center. Fr. Bloom just got back from Peru, where he "has been taking an extended vacation, subsequent to the celebration of his fortieth anniversary of priesthood."
As Mark Shea mentioned, Fr. Bloom is one of the holiest priests we know. And we are very fortunate to have him in our Seattle Archdiocese and I hope many people will be at the Dinner Auction in Mary 12, 2012. I am thinking that perhaps many of our Everett 40 Days for Life prayer volunteers can gather to celebrate our Victory Rally or post-Spring 2012 Campaign celebration there? What do you think? Please let me know.
Ok, here is the list of upcoming events:

Virtues are formed by prayer. Prayer preserves temperance. Prayer suppresses anger. Prayer prevents emotions of pride and envy. Prayer draws into the soul the Holy Ghost and raises man to Heaven. - St. Ephrem +++Oremus. May we stay on course, through daily self-denial, taking up our ✝️, to follow Him - to know, love and serve God - with the guidance of the Declaration of Truth, by Cardinal Burke & other leaders, 31 May'19... May the Holy Spirit help us to understand and guide us. Amen.
