50MillionNames.org Violence is not the end of the story. With a toll of over 55 million abortions since 1973, the number of children lost to abortion is astronomically higher than the lives lost in war. The project' goal is to give healing power, and blessing of giving all the children lost to abortion a name. All it takes is to sign up on the website, and hit “name a baby“. Then they ask for a first and middle name, and some sort of action on your part to memorialize this person.

The St. Francis Xavier 8:00am Mass will be broadcast at 9:30 am every Sunday on 780 AM. Tune in!
