Sep 10 Mon - Christ The King Parish Novena, honoring... St. Joseph, the Patron of a Happy Death! This annual parish novena will be celebrated on nine successive Monday evenings this fall. It begins on Monday, September 10, at 7:15 p.m. (concluding by 8:00 p.m. each night), and continues through Monday, November 5. Each evening will conclude with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. A short homily will be given each evening and the novena prayers recited by all the people. The novena, which is open to all who wish to come - from any parish - will seek the intercession of St. Joseph, the Patron Saint of a Happy Death, a very old devotion in the Church. Across our City and region thousands of people are seriously ill and thousands die each year. Our prayer will be directed for them in a special way, and for all their caregivers as well. The novena, in this its first year, will include prayers that the citizens of Massachusetts turn down doctor-prescribed suicide at the polls this November. We should bring love, care, prayer, hope and proper pain management to family members, and not help them to end their lives through suicide

Eye on Pro-Life election prize

Did you know: on November 6, 2012, you will be voting on a BINDING referendum question, the so-called "Death with Dignity", which is actually Doctor Prescribed Suicide. If passed, this referendum would deliberately and intentionally permit a physician to provide an individual with a lethal drug to commit suicide. And the only witness could be that individual's heir

Salinger has given thousands of dollars to MoveOn.org and EMILY'S List, as well as numerous left-wing pro-abortion politicians across the country. He helped write an amicus brief to strike down "Don't Ask Don't Tell" in the military. As an assistant AG in Mass., he enthusiastically defended the Buffer Zone law against pro-family challenges. If he becomes a judge it will be another nightmare for pro-family citizens. http://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen2/12c/Salinger_hearing_0718/index.html to stop - or at least postpone it. or in general http://www.massresistance.org/

Something to Remember this November during the elections: "Members of this Court are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices." (p.6 roberts' opinion affirming Obamacare is Constitutional because it is a Tax)

Prayer Needs;

It all started in Erie, Illinois is a small, rural town of 1,600 residents in western Illinois, just across the border from Davenport, Iowa when concerned parents in Erie, Illinois got word of plans for a new curriculum (even in a MATH class!) teaching their children as young as 4 years old about same-sex marriage and cross-dressing. Listening to the parents' concerns, the Erie school board voted 5-2 to reject the curriculum introduced by the Gay, Straight, Lesbian Education Network (GLSEN). But it didn't end there...now GLSEN has launched a national campaign to pressure the Erie school board into imposing its "Ready, Set, Respect!" curriculum over the objection of parents and taxpayers. Please take 2 minutes to send the Erie School Board a message thanking them for respecting the rights of parents, and urging them to stand strong! http://email.vervemail.com/ct/26047140:6480229682:m:3:469289996:02AD77CA684FAE15F370B27725DD4215:r
