An Invitation to SE Pennsylvania's Annual Memorial Mass for Our Deceased Pro-Life Friends



From Pat & Jack O'Brien

November 27, 2017
8:00 PM
St. Anastasia Church
3301 West Chester Pike
Newtown Square, PA (map)
(Rosary at 7:45 pm) 


NOTE: Added to the list below is Pro-Life Defender Bill Miller who passed away earlier this month. Bill was a pro-life pioneer who was dedicated to prayerful witness outside of ALL the abortion mills in Philadelphia and as well as the Planned Parenthood in Warmister, Pennsylvania.


May God in His Infinite Wisdom have mercy on their souls

You have noticed that the list of those who came before us and had worked for Life keeps getting longer and longer.  These people are worthy of our remembrance, and even more than that, our grateful prayers.

Each year we celebrate our “family” by attending the Holy sacrifice of the Mass. This year we will again. The grace that comes from this Mass is not for the deceased. It is for us. 

We need fortitude, perseverance, courage, hope, love, patience, trust in His Providence, but mostly faith. We must believe that our prayer is always heard and answered. Some day the scourge of abortion will be ended. Already those who have gone before us know the time. 

As this Mass, we ask their prayers for us and that we continue the work they have begun. Each one of them is joyful to see our work. Come then and celebrate the Mass of Remembrance with them, for us, and for those waiting to be born. Making time, finding time, to be there is a gift to God to Our Mother and yes, to us. 

Pat and Jack O'Brien are long time pro-life warriors and pioneers who reside in Southeast  Pennsylvania.

An Invitation to SE Pennsylvania's Annual Memorial Mass for Our Deceased Pro-Life Friends

November 30, 2015
Mass begins at 8:00 PM
(rosary at 7:45  PM) 
St. Anastasia Church
3301 W. Chester Pike
Newtown Square, PA



From Pat & Jack O'Brien
We are so very blest!
We are following a carefully paved path. The walkway is leading us to a garden of intense beauty and lasting peace. .. and, in His time, a reunion with loved ones who dug the base, leveled the floor, set the stones, cut away the thorns and stubble to make visible that goal for which we strive.

Our deceased loved ones are being rewarded by hundreds, even thousands of babies singing their praises for the effort they made for LIFE.

Separation is difficult. It is a time for faith to carry us. It is pain that is temporary however.

We are very blest! We have the promise of eternal life!

Let us come together, while we may, at this Eucharistic celebration sharing our sorrow, yes, but holding firm to the joy ahead.

Please consider this your invitation. 

 Mass will be celebrated at St. Anastasia Church, 3301 W. Chester Pike, Newtown Square, Pa., on Monday, November 30, at 8:00 p.m. The Rosary will begin at 7:45 p.m. 
 
During the Prayers of the faithful, the names of those recently deceased will be read and a candle will be offered on their behalf.
                           


May this tribute to them be magnified by the grace received at Mass. May we live on in the joyful world of returning our world to a Culture of Life.
