MAGNIFICAT BREAKFAST
If you have never attended a Magnificat Breakfast before, you have been missing a spirit-filled opportunity for grace and fellowship! You do not have to be a member of Magnificat to attend an event. DATE: Saturday May 30. PLACE: Creekside Banquet Facility, 2669 Union Road, Cheektowaga, NY 14227. TIME: 9:30 am - 12:30 pm. SPEAKER: Evelyn Moreno, a local wife and mother who states that she depends on the grace of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to direct the events in her life. All are welcome.
ABORTION EXTREMISM
INSTALLMENT #2 MYTH: The legislation would simply "solidify the protections of Roe v Wade into our law". FACT: RHAPP & FOCA would go much further than current federal law. They would declare abortion a "fundamental right." In 1992, in the case of Planned Parenthood v Casey, the U.S. Supreme Court specifically rejected the view that a woman has a "fundamental" right to abortion. Instead, the Court said that states may regulate abortion, as long as those regulations do not place an "undue burden" on the right to an abortion. Both FOCA & RHAPP say that abortion is fundamental and thus untouchable--no regulations on abortion, EVER. TAKE ACTION NOW! Call: Governor Paterson at 518-474-8390. Your NYS Senator at 518-455-2800. Your NYS Assemblyman at 518-445-4100. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR LIFE! ERIE COUNTY remains one of the top 3 most popular areas for abortion.
STEVEN’S DRIVING SCHOOL
Getting your license? Got you permit? St. Benedict’s parish hosts the NYS 5-hour pre-licensing driving course every Tuesday at 5 p.m. in the school. Follow the signs! It’s the class you need before scheduling your road test. Bring a $25 registration fee and your permit. For information call 674-2340.
