Status Update from Karla Colman

by Karla Colman

Good morning friends,

The last few months have been quite a whirlwind with our Moms in Need.  Thank you for the wonderful attendance at our previous meeting.  We were able to dissect our strengths and weaknesses, make decisions on how to proceed with future endeavors, and enjoyed a wonderful presentation and discussion with our friends from 40 Days for Life.  We were especially happy to see some of our young people from the parish join us.  God is good . . . all the time, and we give praise and thanks for all of you.

A reminder:  October is Respect for Life month

From: Sue Said <ssaid5523@gmail.com>To: Respect Life <respectlife.saintbrigid@gmail.com>

Remember Chip and Ali who wanted to adopt?……
Also Remember Malieka – who was saved from aborting her twins.
Well, God used Chip and Ali’s story from the The St. Brigid Respect Life newsletter to direct me to connect Chip and Ali with Malieka to potentially adopt the twins.
malieka save twins 1.jpg
And how they bonded and Malieka chose Chip and Ali for an adoption plan?

Keidra Baby Shower Update – With Pictures!

Keidra Baby Shower Update – With Pictures!

by Administrator

We had  a beautiful celebration for this young lady, Keidra and her daughter, 5 year old Aris! Keidra is expecting a baby girl in August!  Keidra chose life after meeting a Pro-Life group from St. Bernadette’s at an abortion clinic in Atlanta. Keidra lives nearby in  Marietta, so we joined forces with them to throw a wonderful baby shower with gifts and games and food! A great time was had by all! This is proof positive that posting vigil at abortion clinics makes a difference! We can make a difference one save at a time!

Please commit just one hour per week for prayer and friendship at Planned Parenthood in Marietta!… Read More “Keidra Baby Shower Update – With Pictures!”

Here’s a way to prove “Pro-Choicers” wrong.

Here’s a way to prove “Pro-Choicers” wrong.

by Administrator

I’ve noticed more and more use of the pro choice argument of: You Pro Lifers only care the mother chooses life, after that they don’t care what happens to the baby.

We know this is a baseless argument and one way to prove it is to help out a mother in need. Especially a mother who chose life over abortion.

Cathy Schneider of St. Brigid Respect Life has an opportunity for you to contribute to just such a mother in need. Her name is Oluwabunmi Samuel (Bunmi) and you can contribute any amount to her and baby by buying or adding money to her Amazon baby shower gift list.… Read More “Here’s a way to prove “Pro-Choicers” wrong.”

My Most Important Video
My music video Eyes of God chronicles real women, moments from ending a pregnancy, who chose life thanks to a supportive stranger, and now love their children dearly. This song was recorded by Third Day’s Jason Hoard, written by me, Lisa Rosemond, and features Jadyn Noh. Watch on Youtube HERE. Your share will touch hearts and save lives.

P.S. The single “Eyes of God” is available everywhere music is downloaded

DAY 30: Risking death for Christ

DAY 30: Risking death for Christ

by Administrator

“What are they going to do?” Ruth asked. “Kill me?”

The question wasn’t rhetorical. Ruth grew up in Saudi Arabia, risking her life to practice her Christian faith. Social ostracization and heckling weren’t going to keep her from standing up for unborn children.

On this week’s episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we talk with Ruth about: The fortitude required to live out the Christian faith amidst the threat of violent persecution. How she experienced the culture shock of returning to the West where Christians can live out their faith…but choose not to

CLEVELAND (CNS) — A new postage stamp for Christmas shows detail from an 18th-century Peruvian painting of Our Lady of Guapulo.

The ornate image of Mary holding the infant Jesus by an unknown artist in Cuzco, Peru, is from the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

The U.S. Postal Service will release the stamp at post offices nationwide Oct. 20.

“Enrobed in a pyramidal gown speckled with jewels and holding a scepter woven with roses and leaves, a crowned Virgin Mary looks down at a similarly adorned Christ Child in her left arm,” the USPS wrote in its description of the stamp.… Read More “2020 Christmas stamp shows Peruvian painting of Our Lady of Guapulo”

I got the following story from Facebook from old friends I used to work with in Ohio. When I saw this beautiful picture of Lauren and her baby Carson, I was inspired to share her story on our website and newsletter. 

Background: The first sign of trouble in Lauren’s pregnancy was her water breaking at 22 weeks. She was admitted into Akron City Hospital immediately, and spent 81 days in the hospital before going into labor. Carson was born on April 28, 6 1/2 weeks early. Since Carson was still at serious risk, Lauren was moved to an operating room next to NICU for the delivery.… Read More “Life is Precious – and Worth Fighting For”

Very Personal note from grateful parents

Very Personal note from grateful parents

by Administrator

The day we found out we were pregnant was not a happy one. We weren’t excited, or thrilled. We did not see it as a blessing, or an amazing fortune. Instead, we saw it as a disaster. An unexpected misfortune that we were absolutely not prepared for. With our son only one years old, behind on our bills, and stressed out about our future, we just knew there was no way for us to provide for another child so soon. Diapers, wipes, clothes, a place to sleep, food, childcare, the list went on and on in our heads every single day.
