January 15, 2009 – Simply Catholic

This just in from Barbara:

I just had to let everyone know, we did it! With God’s help, we have Masses secured for our new president in all 50 states, as well as nine other countries! Thanks to each you for helping in this grassroots effort for the benefit of our nation and the unborn. To date we have 285 Masses being offered on or near Inauguration Day for our new president that he will have a conversion of heart and work to protect the dignity of all human life.

Just a reminder that today (Thursday) is probably the last day you will be able to get a bulletin announcement in at your parish letting people know about the Mass for the President.

If you know of anyone who has secured a Mass and hasn’t let us know ASAP so I can get them on the roster.

Also, if you have been thinking about contacting a priest or a parish about having a Mass said, it isn’t too late. Just today, one of the our local gals called one of the parishes who had wanted to have a Mass but said they were booked. The parish secretary called the pastor and they were able to rearrange the intention schedule and get a Mass on the 20th. Someone else wrote to say that the 20th was the only date available next week, and they were able to secure it. And, if you can’t get the 20th, God does work outside of time, so it can be later on as well.

I will send out an email this weekend with our final tally. Will we surge beyond the 300 mark? We have been averaging between 15 and 25 Masses per day. Maybe we will hit 400! So much good comes from a single Mass offered for a specific intention, I can’t imagine the benefit of this multitude of Masses being offered for the most powerful person in the world. It will be exciting to watch how God works.

I pray that God will bless each of you for your dedication to the unborn and I hope that we will hear good news for their sakes in the coming weeks and months.

In Christ’s love and service,
Barb L-
