Please remember that the Diocese of Knoxville's 4th Annual "Rosary for Life" will be this Saturday, January 11, at 10am. This year the location for the rosary will be at the Planned Parenthood in Knoxville which is located at 710 North Cherry Street Knoxville, TN 37914. This rosary will be led by Justin Cardinal Rigali.
If we remember back to the past three times this event was held we will remember that it was done at the abortion facility in Knoxville. That facility has since been closed which shows the importance of our prayer. If you are unable to attend this event please remember that you can still pray a rosary from the comfort of your own home for this cause.

Rosary for Life
The third annual Rosary for Life was held today across the street from an abortion clinic in the downtown area of Knoxville. Justin Cardinal Rigali led the rosary in Bishop Stika's absence, due to death in his family. This year the weather was good and we had a huge turnout from the Knoxville faithful. I have attached a few pictures from this year's event. May all of us continue to join our hearts in prayer that one day life will be respected and thus abortion will come to an end in this country and around the world.

Planned Parenthood to Johnson City
This past Monday, following the solemnity of Mary Mother of God, Planned Parenthood quietly opened it's doors in Johnson City, Tennessee.
Some women rejoice because this facility will help to bring aid during the dark times of our economic decline. In these times it seems that their services will be helpful because they will offer "cancer screenings, birth control, prevention and treatment to sexually transmitted diseases, breast health services, Pap tests and sexual health education and information (JC Press.)"
Nowhere in their list of services do they speak about the injustice that they cause against life. They so kindly have forgotten about mentioning their abortion services.
The founder of Planned Parenthood was Margret Sanger. She was the visionary who opened the first birth control clinic inside of the United States. Sanger believed that racial couples who turn towards sterilization should be rewarded. She saw birth control as the only way to create a race of thoroughbreds. Her vision was to make sure to open abortion facilities in areas where many black Americans are present.
Planned Parenthood continues to share the vision of it's founder. Quietly they go into cities and put on this peaceful front. Yes cancer screenings is a good service along with some of their other services. Their ultimate hope is to spread their attack against life. To put it simply birth control is an attack against life and marriage. These facilities help to spread this attack on life worldwide and ultimately lead to the ultimate attack on life found in abortion.
Let us pray for life. We must not continue to be silent as the sanctity of life is being attacked around us. It is only through our silence that these facilities can quietly move in and begin to quietly degrade the importance of life with it. We can look towards our Blessed Mother who gave her "consent" to the will of God to bring forth the Savior of the World.
On January 14th the Diocese of Knoxville will hold it's third annual "Rosary for Life." On this day Catholics around the diocese will join in prayer with it's spiritual leader, Bishop Stika. Hopefully a day will come when life will finally come to be respected. I invite you to join us at 10am on January 14th for this event. We will gather across from an abortion clinic at 313 Concord St. in Knoxville. Parking will be available at Tyson Park. Even if you are unable to attend you can join in prayer that day at 10am to join our hearts together in this endeavor.
Hopefully events such as this will spread the importance of the Pro Life Movement. Only through our endeavors can this quiet attack on life come to an end. We must remember in our prayers all who have been touched by abortion.
