ST. MARTIN'S COMMUNITY PRAYS TO SAVE LIVES
Please stand with us for LIFE on Saturday, June 1. Each month Fr. Sy, Fr. Paw and faithful parishioners gather at the Planned Parenthood building in Orange. Praying to change hearts and minds is a fundamental tenant of the Respect Life movement and has been very effective. We know that babies' lives have been saved and families have been spared the pain of loss and regret.
