Fox Valley pro-lifers were honored to be joined by Human Life International's Father Tom Euteneuer at our November protest at Planned Parenthood Aurora.

Father Euteneuer serves as President of Human Life International, a pro-life group that works for the protection of unborn babies all around the world. Father Euteneuer gave a talk the previous evening at Holy Angels Church in Aurora which over 100 area pro-lifers attended and celebrated Mass at Holy Angels on Saturday morning before the protest.

Aurora's third 40 Days for Life campaign closed with our second "Do-It-Yourself" Pro-Life Concert, and it was a great ending to a great campaign.

Pro-lifers gathered on the vacant lot outside Planned Parenthood Aurora to sing their favorite hymns and praise God for his kindness towards our Pro-Life efforts in the Fox Valley—and with five babies saved from abortion in the last week we have a lot to be thankful for.

The video above is of pro-lifers singing "Spirit of the Living God" for our friend and long-time stalwart activist John Thorne. John is sick with lung problems and may not be long for this world, but when he was well, he was the first person to speak against Planned Parenthood at every City Council meeting, he came to every protest and prayed with incredible faithfulness.

"Spirit of the Living God" is one of John's favorite songs, he requested it at many pro-life events, so we sang it for him since he couldn't be with us this time. Please pray for John and his health as well as his family in this time of illness.

The Pro-Life Action League is pleased to announce a weekend full of pro-life events coming up November 13 and 14.

First, Father Thomas Euteneuer, pro-life activist and president of Human Life International will give a talk enitled The Fight for Life Around the World at Holy Angels Church located at Hardin Avenue and Lancaster Avenue in Aurora (Map). The talk will be in Connor Hall in the Church basement. A light meal will be served at 5:15 p.m. followed by the talk from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.

There is no cost for the talk and dinner, but organizers request that you RSVP by Friday, November 6 by calling 630-897-1194, ext. 26, or via e-mail at releducation@holyangels.org.

Then, on Saturday, November 14, Fr. Euteneuer will celebrate 8:15 a.m. Mass at Holy Angels. After the Mass, Fr. Euteneuer will join pro-lifers for the monthly protest at Planned Parenthood Aurora (Map) at 9:15 a.m.

Don't miss this chance to hear from and pray with one of the pro-life movement's most dynamic priests.

I stumbled upon this video of a PP leader resigning after seeing an ultrasound. Pretty cool. Perhaps other "pro-choice" workers can take note here.

The photo here is from the Coalition for Life site which recently opened a women's resource center close to the PP facility.
