• Forgotten Victims of Sexual Violence: Children Born of War: "Throughout history, children born of war have been subjected to a lifetime of rejection and deprivation from basic needs like health care and education due to the tragic circumstances of their birth" 

• HB 300 / SB 300.  OPPOSE this state legislation.  As the Pa Catholic Conference, “In other states, this law has shuttered Catholic adoption agencies and trampled religious liberty….Simply put, this legislation is intolerant and prejudiced against people of faith." http://www.votervoice.net/groups/pacc/Advocacy/?SiteID=-1&IssueID=33451

• March for Marriage: "The March for Marriage is set for Saturday, April 25th [at 10 a.m, near the Capital in DC] which is within days of when the Supreme Court is expected to hear oral argument on the cases before them that will decide the legal status of marriage."  If the Archdiocese does not organize buses to the March (Keep an eye on www.phillycatholiclife.org.), Amtrak can take you from Trenton to DC's Union Station in 2.5 hours (about $52, each way).

• Pharmacy Ads: All but a handful of pharmacies - across the country - sell abortifacients and contraceptives. The St Clare Pharmacy is the only pharmacy in the Bucks Cty/Jersey area believed to NOT sell abortifacients and contraceptives.  Hence, it boggles the mind that

  OLA (Trenton) is advertising Vizzoni's and Episcopo's,
  OLS/St.Anthony's (Trenton) is advertising Episcopo's and Risoldi's,
  St.Ann's (Lawrenceville) is advertising McGrath's and Penlar, and
  St. Charles Borromeo (Bensalem) is advertising Riccio's!

  Seeing nonsense appear in parish bulletins brings to mind shopkeepers of conscience forced out of business, because of refusal to compromise their consciences.  Please send an email.
