40 Pro-lifers took part in the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade on March 12th.
The weather was perfect with spring-like temperatures. Those who marched wore green scarves. This has been an annual tradition going back to the leadership of the late John Stanton.
Even many of the attendees cheered on pro-lifers along Market Street.
It was a day to honor a great saint who emphasized the trinity with the shamrock and ensured the pro-life message was spread to the thousands who were in attendance
The following is from Dr. Monique Ruberu. Hours are still needed to be filled. Visit 40daysforlife.com.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
[We have] such an awesome story to share…at 777 the pro-abortion escorts often play music to drown us out as we try to speak to the moms going in. That music is often demonic, or crude…rarely tolerable and nice… So by the grace of God working through a donor, we purchased a nice speaker and mic so we could share Christian music and speak to the moms over their noise.
I knew the moms on the sidewalk could hear us, but Marlene, Pat, and I prayed that the moms could hear us inside as well… well today the officer told us that Lynn (elderly pro-abortion escort) was complaining about the loudness of our music => the officer pointed out that the only reason we have music playing is that they started playing music and he had observed the interaction for the past few months… then she said – “Yes but their music is disturbing them INSIDE”
SO PRAISE GOD!!! The moms can HEAR US INSIDE!!! – I told the officer I’d be happy to stop our music if they do t play music… I’ll just use it to talk on my mic – directly to the women inside 🙂
Guys when we show up to do this work for God it is very important that we first feed our souls in preparation for this work… please do spend time daily in mass, in prayer, in scripture, in meditation on Jesus, in adoration… in the Word of God especially …the closer you allow yourself to get to Him… the more you allow Him to fill you…the better your work will be.
With two weeks until the midterm elections, we may be wondering what is really at stake. After seeing countless fear ads circulating while watching our shows, sporting events, and even the news, there is much at stake. Despite the ever-changing polls (which many are rigged or inaccurate), concerned citizens that are eligible to vote with a clear conscience can change the tide and stop Biden’s agenda from complete fruition.
2022 has proved to all of us that three things will hang in the balance on November 8th… Life, liberty, and family. Sadly, all three of them have been attacked.
When it comes to life, the first inalienable right for any born and unborn US citizen, it has taken a beaten. Despite the Dobbs v Jackson decision in June to send the abortion debate back to the states, pro-aborts launched their antagonizing summer of rage which saw hundreds of churches and pregnancy resource centers vandalized, fire-bombed, and disrupted.
There were even pro-lifers attacked while canvassing in many battleground states. Philly pro-lifers endured some of this like finding dog feces on the sidewalk outside of Philadelphia Women’s Center (Heather did it). Most recently happened prior to the rally and march led by Rev. Childress.
This is coming from the same people who preach “Love trumps hate”, “Hate has no place here”, and my personal favorite about immigrants being welcomed here except at Martha’s Vineyard (Now Karen’s vineyard) thanks to Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida.
Pro-lifers are not only being attacked by pro-aborts but they are being intimidated by our out-of-control government. Case in point, the FBI. If the events that have happened in the last month to pro-lifers in Tennessee, Minnesota, and in Pennsylvania do not wake up to how President Biden and his allies in the federal government are drunk on power, then what will? We will overcome these scare tactics.
Liberty is constantly attacked by left-wing politicians and their friends in the abortion industry. Thanks to poor catechism, Catholics who support abortion have gotten what they deserved. It all can change thankfully. Parents are speaking out against the gay and transgender agenda happening in public education. No question that it can be a factor in how people vote. Christians have been bombarded by attacks from progressives with woke ideologies, yet many are standing their ground. Disney, since its agenda was exposed earlier this year, has seen a drop in tourism and also lost its tax break (Get Woke! Go Broke).
The family is seeing the evil one attacking them like never before. Even the shepherd children who witnessed the apparitions of Fatima were told that the final battle will be fought over the family. We’re seeing it unfold before our eyes. The LGBTQ movement is stopping at nothing to disrupt traditional families while grooming minor children through drag queen shows, explicit entertainment, and other forms of perversions. This is another front that must be confronted.
With a mere fourteen days left, we all must rally to take back our God-given rights. Should Biden get his way, those freedoms God has given to us will be a generation away from extinction.
This is the fight for our lives. Are we ready to stand our ground or retreat in the midst of adverse fire from the enemy?
On November 8th vote in person for life, liberty, and family. Let us take back our freedoms in the Post-Roe society.
Happy October.
Fall is in full swing. The air is getting cooler and crisp. Many will break out the sweaters, hoodies, and enjoying fall activities.
There’s much to happen in the pro-life community as the mid-terms are lurking, fundraisers, and even 40 Days for Life campaigns.
Here’s a list for things to do
Have a great month of October.
6500. That’s the total number of abortions committed at Philadelphia Women’s Center, located in the Chinatown section and just a 1/4 of a mile from Independence Hall.
The facility has been in operation for 50 years. Ironically, it sits five floors above a daycare in an eight-story building.
Pro-lifers overcame jeers from Heather and her friends that work at the facility, dog feces on the sidewalk where they pray, and intimidation of other sorts, yet those who have been out there continued to persevere.
The vigil hours are Tuesday to Friday from 7AM-4PM. Saturdays from 6AM to 3PM.
Do pray for the following workers and volunteers of the facility to have a conversion: Amanda Kifferly, Heather Loesch (Security Guard), Lisa Perriera, Edith Miller, Anna Smith, Bruce Love, Colin McCrossen, Chris Hill, and Lynne Molter

Dr. Monique Ruberu offers a reflection from this past weekend outside of both abortion facilities in Philadelphia.
This past Saturday once again we showed up and prayed outside of 777 and 12th. At 777 we covered the street and sidewalks with exorcised salt and anointed all the prayer warriors with exorcised oil…
Heather as usual showed up with her sage but we continued praying for them all.
I heard from another prayer warrior who said the following :
“A year ago, I stole an idea from a woman who participated with us Helpers a few times a few years ago. I bring Holy Water with me and bless the space right in front of the gate at 12th/Locust: three Crosses for Father/Son/Holy Spirit. The first time that I did it at 777 was this past Spring. We’d gotten an early dismissal from work, so I went over there to pray. The guard saw that and came out and smudged the entire area. The same thing happened again this summer and I blessed the area again. And the guard came out again. Or rather, she PLANNED to do so. I watched through the window as she tried .. and tried .. and tried .. and tried .. and tried to light the sage bundle .. but it WOULDN’T take, it just wouldn’t stay lit. Holy Water – 1; Sage Bundle – 0.” Thanks R!!!
At 12th there was a pro choice protest outside the Community Women’s Center. Our faithful prayer warriors continued the vigil outside of 12th and locust while they were there… these protests will come and go… even though they block the doors and act the fool the police may not even step in but God sees everything and He alone will make a way for us. We continue our work because we work for Him.
Monique Ruberu offered a reflection on her recent experience outside of the Philadelphia Women’s Center on August 27th.
Last Saturday our friends at 777 appletree took a lot of trouble to collect dog feces, transport it in a car and bring it to 777 where they graciously littered it over the sidewalk where we pray.
So what did we do? We swept it away and continued praying… and then I sprinkled exorcised blessed salt all over the entire street and both sidewalks including the entryway to the abortion center =) God always wins =)
When we continue to show up with love despite the persecution, despite the anger and upset, God continues to shine through us… Babies continue to have a glimmer of hope for survival. Their precious lives are honored by someone. We can close our eyes knowing that we tried.
Pat sent me the message that a few days ago there was a turnaround at 12th and locust – Such a blessing!
Pray that our continued presence helps to turn the hearts and minds of these moms toward our sweet Jesus. May they feel His love and kindness.
It’s September. School is back in session. Students return for another year on a college campus. A new month to set goals to defend life from womb to tomb.
Here’s the list of suggestions for September
Have a great month of September. Make it one to remember.
A few weeks ago Mayor Kinney, mayor of Philadelphia, announced that the city would be giving $500,000 to a fund to pay for abortions, abortion travel, and other abortion support services.
Chuck and Theresa Kuhar stood with the Thomas More Society and sued Mayor Kenney and the city
