The Helpers of God's Precious Infants

"To claim the right to abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia,
and to recognize the right in law,
means to attribute to human freedom
a perverse and evil significance:
that of an absolute power over others and against others.
This is the death of true freedom.
A great prayer for life is urgently needed,
a prayer which will rise up throughout the world."

- Blessed John Paul II, Gospel of Life

We invite you to join the Helpers of God's Precious Infants in a peaceful, prayerful Mass and Rosary.

Saturday, May 19
8:30 a.m. Mass at Christ the Good Shepherd
(18511 Klein Church Rd., Spring, TX 77379)
9:45 a.m. Rosary in front of
the Women's Medical Center of Northwest Houston
