Join us for a FREE SHOWING of the hit movie UNPLANNED! at St. John Paul II (in St. Cecilia Church) on Saturday, December 7, 2019 at 7 PM. All Abby Johnson ever wanted to do was help women. As one of the youngest Planned Parenthood clinic directors in the states, she was involved in upwards of 22, 000 abortions and counseled countless women about their reproductive choices. Her passion surrounding a woman's right to choose even led her to become a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood, fighting to enact legislation for the cause she so deeply believed in. Until the day she saw something that changed everything, leading Abby Johnson to join her former enemies at 40 Days for Life and become one of the most ardent pro-life speakers in America. Unplanned is the most important movie you'll ever see on the most controversial issue of our time. No matter which side of the fence you're on no one will leave this film unmoved.

Josh Reindeau, one of our parishioners, re-upholstered the kneelers in the church as his Eagle Scout Project. To help fund his project, Josh is selling an engraved “kneeler plaque. Anyone interested should fill out a form (available in the bulletin or by clicking on the title of this post) and return it to the Rectory as soon as possible. Plaques can be engraved with a family name, a group name, or in memory of a loved one. The cost of each plaque is $100.00, cash or check (payable to St. John Paul II Parish, and mention Kneeler Plaque on the memo line).
