On Friday, November 9th, a group of over 100 individuals in Milwaukee, including many young adults and families, joined in deep and beautiful prayer for an end to abortion. This pro-life event was the idea of St. Francis de Sales seminarian Andrew Linn who planned and organized the evening with the help of his brother seminarians.
The event began downtown at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, where everyone gathered and then processed to the Women's Care Center on Farwell Avenue while praying the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary.
Fr. Luke Strand, Fr. Kevin McManaman, Fr. Glenn Powers and Fr. Quinn Mann from Green Bay, along with seminarian John Baumgardner, each took turns leading the rosary. The seminarians wrote beautiful Gospel meditations for each of the sorrowful mysteries which very fittingly intensified our prayer as we reflected upon the sufferings of our Lord. When we arrived at the Women's Care Center we were greeted by staff member Sharon Hudy who prayed with us and invited us inside for a tour of the beautiful and welcoming facility and for some refreshments.

an event like this in Milwaukee would have been impossible to imagine 12 years ago.
This is good to see. Apparently, the number of abortions in America has decreased by 5%. More young people are realizing that abortion bars children from their most basic right, the right to life. Other good reason to fight abortion are: http://www.tfpstudentaction.org/politically-incorrect/abortion/10-reasons-why-abortion-is-evil.html
