1st Quarter 2019 - Report

1st Quarter 2019

The first quarter of 2019 was filled with Pro-Life activity and began with traveling to Washington, D.C. to participate in the Vigil Mass for Life with Archbishop Naumann as celebrant and homilist, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. He encouraged us to mark our calendars for the March 29^th release of the movie Unplanned, saying we would not want to miss it!

The following day we joined over 500,000 peaceful Marchers on the streets of DC, carrying our statue of Mary, Ark of The New Covenant with Jesus in Mary’s Womb. We were blessed to be interviewed by Theresa Tomeo, of EWTN who discussed the theme, Unique from Day One.  Along with friend Annie Karto, of Vigilant Heart Radio, we discussed the fetal microchimerism phenomenon and the fact that no abortion is ever complete because the living cells of the baby remain in the mother for life.

After meeting Annie Karto in DC, she invited me to be a guest on her Vigilant Heart Radio Maria Program and on Feb. 11^th, we enjoyed an hour of conversation about Preborn Jesus Ministry and the need to pray our rosaries to defeat infanticide laws, like the one recently announced in NY.

The remainder of the quarter was spent in preparation of an amazing event that took place on March 24, at St. Anthony Chapel in Pittsburgh. Friends from Foundation Jesus The Divine Mercy and St. Anthony Shrine collaborated to bring international singer and song writer, Anna Nuzzo for an inspiring Lenten evening of prayer, beautiful music and talks including Fr. Chris Donley and Sr. Emily Lepage from the Congregation of Sisters of Merciful Jesus. On the eve of the Annunciation of Our Lord, this was a beautiful way to prepare for the Feast on the 25^th!

The first quarter of 2019 ended with many of us seeing the movie Unplanned that shocked Hollywood as one of the weekend’s top box office hits! God is doing a mighty work as He pulls back the veil and illuminates consciences. We need Our dear Lady, Mary, Ark of The New Covenant to lead us in this battle for life!
