Respect for the Unborn Human Life:
The Church's Constant Teaching
In response to recent public Catholic persons'
statements regarding abortion, the USCCB recently issue a statement
entitled "Respect for Unborn Human Life: The Church's Constant Teaching."
The statement begins:
"The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: 'Since the
first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every
procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains
unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed
either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral
law' (No. 2271)"
The statement goes on to review this history and
state "Given the scientific fact that human life begins at conception,
the only moral norm needed to understand the Church's opposition
to abortion is the principle that each and every human life has
inherent dignity, and thus must be treated with the respect due
to a human person.
To read the entire statement, you can find it
at the USCCB website at this link:

to the Father for us sinners. Let us adore Him for ourselves, for
the poor, for the earth, for the church and for the life of the
world."

Janet at 592-2351.

Help a Hurting Friend
Do you have a friend, neighbor, coworker or relative
who has suffered a loss or is going through a difficult time? Here's
a great way you can help them--tell them about our Stephen Ministry!
Stephen Ministers are members of St. Columbkille
who have received special training to provide high quality, confidential,
one-to-one, Christian care to hurting people. Stephen Ministers
meet weekly with their care receivers to listen, care, encourage,
and provide emotional and spiritual support. (Males are matched
with males, and females are matched with females.)
The caring relationship lasts for as long as the
person needs care. It's free and it's a powerful way you can help
a hurting friend. To learn how to connect someone you know with
a Stephen Minister, talk with one of our Stephen Ministry Leaders:
Bob or Sandy Stier, 331-0716 or Mary Lyn Loeffler, 291-1125.
Our Stephen Ministers are there to care!
