ATTENTION BOYS AGE 10-18!

The Fr. Pohl Squires Circle is looking for new members. The Squires is a youth fraternity supported by the Knights of Columbus for Catholic boys between the ages of 10 and 18.

A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE BY BUD OZAR: Today’s gospel speaks about “unworthy wedding guests.” What makes a “worthy” guest? Presence and presents are not enough. The greatest gift we can give is support to the couple as they voyage through life together because marriage natu-rally contains within it the fields of disappointment. Think of the wed-dings you have attended. Have you been a “worthy guest?”

LETTING FAITH FORM OUR CONSCIENCE

The Bishop has written a letter to the faithful, “Letting Faith Form Our Con-science.” The purpose of the letter is to teach, lead and sanctify, so that we are prepared to vote with a clear understanding of Catholic teaching on the moral and social issues facing us. With the letter is a supplement to “Letting Faith Form our Conscience”, steps to help form conscience in preparation for exercising our civic responsibility to vote. The letter is in the back of church for you to pick up.

WHO IS JUDGE AMY CONEY BARRETT

On Saturday, September 26, Presi-dent Trump made it official: his pick to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is U.S. Circuit Court Judge Amy Coney Barrett (ACB). Who is she? What kind of person and what kind of judge will she be? By now, you’ve probably learned she’s an adoptive mother. Her and her husband manage to both work in the legal profession while raising sev-en children, the youngest with Down syndrome. Judge Barrett seems to be universally beloved by her former Notre Dame law students and her colleagues anywhere. Even CBS gave 10 attack-free minutes to one of her former law students who sent on to become the Supreme Court’s first blind woman to serve as a law clerk. Sadly, none of that will matter, ex-cept as something to consider for pro-abortion senators in their raw politi-cal calculus. How will they decide to oppose her? And oppose her they shall, for the simple reason that she’s not a hardcore abortion activist. Most importantly for us, we see that Judge Barrett has ruled on three sep-arate cases involving abortion. She disagreed with the Abortion Indus-try’s support for aborting kids with disabilities. She disagreed they can throw the bodies of aborted babies in the trash. She said we should revisit a case that restricts the free speech rights of prolife sidewalk counselors. She doesn’t believe the U.S. Constitu-tion allows minor teens to have abor-tions without their parents’ consent. Right to Life of Michigan Prolife update ACB Profile and Factsheet
