Please Note: This 10th vigil of prayer, fasting and continued public witness will be held In Loving Memory of Louis (Luke) Innocenzi, Jr.,Requiescat in Pace. Luke was a trained Sidewalk Advocate for Life at our Norristown location and had an indomitable spirit for the unborn, (www.sidewalkadvocate.org for more info) and had spent his last day on this earth at the Norristown Planned Parenthood before he was called home to his eternal reward on Ascension Thursday, May 10, 2018. Ascension Thursday is the 3rd Glorious Mystery that we pray for the theological virtue of "Hope!" It is also, 40 days after the Resurrection! The photo attached was taken on May 10th as Luke attended the prayer vigil with another indomitable spirit, Jim Schneller, his guardian angel, while the RU-486 was given to the women.
