John**, whose wife was pregnant and inside the abortion facility, came over to the Sidewalk Counselors to tell them that they were making people uncomfortable. You see, there were lots of people in the waiting room, and they were bothered that the Counselors were outside offering loving help as an alternative to abortion.

What never ceases to amaze me is how our ministry directors and staff never stop working for those we serve. I was reminded of this just last week...

Two ladies who work together but go to different parishes have been consistently coming out to pray at the vigil. The first day I met them, they wanted to tell me a story about a man who had come by the day before. Frank was glad the prayer volunteers were there so he could share his wife’s decision regarding her pregnancy...

No babies died at South Dallas Planned Parenthood on Saturday, July 16, the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

He was silent at the time of the decision and that silence has affected their marriage. Now his wife was venturing out in courage to a Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat – alone.

I live my life day to day as most others do. Busy with my family – my husband and children, the dogs. Happy and fulfilled. But periodically, throughout every year in the darkness and loneliness of night ...

My first week as a sidewalk counseling intern was an awakening experience. I came to find out that not everyone is educated or aware that that Planned Parenthood where I counsel performs many abortions on a daily basis. My heart was torn to also learn that females who were looking to have the adequate resources to carry a healthy pregnancy were referred to Planned Parenthood from hospitals.  Learning all of this, made me reflect on how I came to the decision to become an intern with the Catholic Pro Life Committee.
