A Mobile PRC Clinic is a RV with a waiting room in the front and an ultrasound room in the back. This newly acquired unit enables Women's Mobile and Clinic- Pregnancy Resource Center of the South Hills (Pittsburgh) to go to the women who can't come to them! This state-of -the- art, first of its kind in the nation, unit was available for touring at the Knights of Columbus, PA State Convention held in Cranberry Twp., PA. on Sat. May 16, where it was blessed by Diocese of Pittsburgh Bishop, David Zubik. Also present for the blessing was Archbishop Stefan Soroka, Archbishop of the Ukranian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia.
It was the dedicated hard work of many, many Knights that made the purchase of such a new, sophisticated machine possible. As in every ultrasound machine purchased, the Knights sponsor many fundraisers, collect the funds and then the Supreme Council matches up to a set amount. What an inspiration these joyful men unselfishly serve the Church- from Esquires to the State Deputy, the many members of the K of C exemplify Christ in His Mystical Body because of their deep appreciation for the gift of every human life.
It was an honor to work with the PA Knights of Columbus and Jesus-The Divine Mercy Foundation to make it possible to arrange for Pat Polachek and Bernadette Conklin to gift Lori Szala, Executive Director of Women's Mobile + Clinic, the framed image of Vessel of The Preborn Jesus, as well as the Divine Mercy, Mary Ark of The New Covenant Icon. The evening ended with Pat and Bernadette addressing the nearly 400 attendees at the PA, K of C Convention with proposals to work with the K of C through several initiatives for Family Eucharistic Holy Hours, use of the Jesus-The Divine Mercy Cookbook-Prayer book (www.jesusthedivinemercy.com), and presenting the icons to ultrasound machine recipients.
Please continue to pray!
