Life Chain Sep 30, 2012. Our Lady of The Cape candle light procession & crowning Oct 4, 2012

Please come join us for Life Chain on Sept. 30^th from 2:30 – 3:30 pm at the corner of Mavis and Dundas, to hold signs in silent prayer.  Many mothers planning abortions change their minds after each Life Chain, witnessed by a spike in calls to Pregnancy Support Centers and a decline by about 60% in abortions performed.  Sign-up sheets are available following each Mass.  You can make a big difference and save lives!

“Whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for me”

(Mt 25:40)
