On April 29th, the 5th Saturday of April, Archbishop Dennis Schurr of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati will celebrate the 8 a.m. Mass at Holy Name Catholic Church 2448 Auburn Ave near Christ Hospital. The fifth Saturday Masses and Prayer Vigils for Life are sponsored by LIFE’S 5TH QUARTER. Its goal is to tap into the enthusiasm that our youth demonstrate each January for the March for Life in Washington D.C. and to teach our youth the power of the best spiritual weapon available to us, outside the Eucharist, - THE ROSARY. LIFE’S 5TH QUARTER is challenging our YOUTH to take ownership of this 5th Saturday along with adult support to give JUST TWO HOURS during this school year by attending one of the prayer vigils on a 5th Saturday. Please see www.facebook.com/lifes5thquarter for details. BRITANNIA TRIP -- FINAL SIGN UP MEETING - MAY 11, 7:00 PM London! Big Ben! Old Edinburgh! The Blarney Stone! Dublin! Castles!
