_______________________________________________________________________________________________Next Respect Life Meeting:
Tuesday, May 28th 7:30 PM, Portable 2
Our Special Guest Speaker:LORI DE VILLEZ, EXEC. DIR.,TROTTER HOUSE
As Catholics we believe that life is sacred, and we want women to chose life for their babies.
We want them to say “YES” to life. But what happens after that “YES”? This is when places like Trotter House come to the rescue. Did you know that Trotter House is in the heart of the
U.T. Austin Campus area in order to help young students who find themselves in a crisis pregnancy?
Did you know that young people can fulfill service hours by volunteering at Trotter House?
They can do everything from light office work, to help organzining donations for their “store”.
Join us at our next monthly meeting to find out more about this dynamic pregnancy resource center that goes beyond the “YES” to life!
There were also be information about other upcoming Pro Life events, great food, and awesome door prizes!
RSVP’s are appreciated but not required!
This is a family-friendly event and children are welcome.
Many of us also meet for rosary and 6:30pm mass in the chapel prior to the meeting in Portable #2.
