2012 Upcoming Pro-Life Events - Washtenaw County and Beyond

Hope you can join us for one or more of these Pro-Life events!    

Christ the King Catholic Church, 4000 Ave Maria Dr. in Ann Arbor is the host site for an Ecumenical Pro-Life Conference, “Faith and Conscience Matter – Putting Them Together in 2012”, on Saturday, January.14th from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm, featuring great speakers: Jill Stanek, RN, Dr. Monica Miller and Dr. Robert Fastiggi. The conference also includes dynamic hands-on workshops on how to use the New Media to promote Life and how to do more at the “clinics” to prevent abortion.

This conference is for people of all beliefs who are concerned about developing a clear conscience in regard to important life issues: abortion, stem-cell research, cloning, embryo manipulation, euthanasia.  This is a critical year - an election year - and the voices have already started.  But God speaks with a still small voice and the Holy Spirit will be our guide.  Come and discover how to proceed as God’s faithful ones.
