The Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge, Bishop of Arlington, in his role as chairman of the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities, has released a statement on In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF), reaffirming the Church’s stance against it. |
Come join us in the Rosary as Fr. Sunny leads us in prayer to end abortion and save lives:
When: First Saturdays of the month, at 11:00 am.
Location: On the public right-of-way in front 900 S. Washington Street, Falls Church, VA.
It can be hot, so recommend bringing water and an umbrella for shade.
As of July 1, Virginia no longer requires a 24 hour counseling and an ultrasound 24 hours before killing a child in the womb, which makes it easier for women to have abortions and makes it harder for sidewalk counselors to turn women away from abortions, which is why your prayerful presence and especially the Rosary prayer is especially needed these days at these places of death.
The Pro-Life Group helps to foster awareness about the sacredness of human life from conception to natural death. They organize many activities throughout the year to pray for an end to abortion, including the annual March for Life in DC and 40 Days for Life. They also raise money and collect baby items throughout the year to aid crisis pregnancy centers and recipients of the Adopt a family Christmas program.
October 2018 – In a first for the Diocese, a single Mass honored both Respect Life Month and Disabilities Awareness Month on Respect Life Sunday. In his homily below, Bishop Michael F. Burbidge highlights the Catholic Church’s teaching on the sanctity of all life — including those with special needs.
“Sadly, we live in a nation where the poor, the weak, the elderly, the inmate, the immigrant and persons with disabilities are not always afforded the dignity that is theirs as children of God; and it is to this world that we are sent as messengers of the Gospel of Life.”
—Bishop Burbidge
