1 Catholics 4 LIFE Initiatives To soften hearts, change minds and advance the sanctity of human life

2 Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Divine Power of God - cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. As a reminder of the Spiritual Battle that we are in, we say the Prayer to St. Michael to start each of our Parish Networking Meetings

Teach us to foster proper attitudes about all of your creation, the unborn, the elderly, the handicapped, the temporarily ill. Help us to see anew the miracle and sacredness of all life and give us a greater awareness of our responsibility toward this gift from you. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen Created by C4L Member Noel Aicher. We printed 15,000 of these prayer cards for parish distribution.

13 Catholics4LIFE Updates The Wisconsin Department of Health reports that the ABORTION RATE IN MILWAUKEE HAS DECLINED 23% SINCE Women s Care Center OPENED ON FARWELL. This is more than double the decline for the rest of the state. Milwaukee is now at the lowest abortion rate in the 18 years tracked by the Department of Health. Although many pro-life efforts helped make this possible, our outreach directly across the street from the largest abortion clinic in the state is really making a difference. One of every three women who come to us on Farwell is thinking about abortion. Nearly all make the choice for life instead.
