As he was now drawing near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the the highest!" And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples." He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out." ~Luke 19: 37-40

God calls us, who know so well His goodness and the beauty of His works, to raise our voices unceasingly in defense of the dignity of Life.

Pro-Life Cleveland in 2013

I apologize for the inactivity of this blog over the last couple of months. In November, my computer hard drive crashed and we are still working to restore and recover from that loss. Also in November, I found out that I am expecting our 8th child (6 born children). Although this is incredibly joyful news, the early weeks of pregnancy for me are a great struggle. Between the computer failure, Christmas busy, a First Holy Communion, and battles with sickness, the blog work needed to be aside for a time. I'll be picking up where I left off here and hope that you will help me in a couple ways:

1. Please spread the word and forward links and dates of interest to your friends and family.
2. Please forward me information about pro-life events or news in the area along with any photos that I might be able to post.

I hope everyone found plenty of ways to work for life and it does indeed look like more than a few made it to the March for Life in DC this year! This was our year to go as a family but my sickness unfortunately kept us home. My husband and kids marched in Cleveland instead and I offered my time at home for the unborn and their caregivers.

Moving on...
We've got big happenings in March with the Bringing America Back to Life Symposium sponsored by the Cleveland Right to Life. This is the pro-life place to be with great food, inspiring speakers, and the most wonderful pro-life community to experience it with.

Ticket information is HERE along with a detailed program and volunteer/sponsorship opportunities. Need some motivation? Check out (and pass along) this fantastic video promo...
