Cross the Bridge for Life Sunday – June 3 Festivities Begin at 1:30 p.m.
Join thousands of area pro-life supporters in this prayerful and respectful event.
Pro-lifers from the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area will show their support for the protection of human life with a peaceful walk across the “Purple People Bridge” spanning the Ohio River from Sawyer Point in Cincinnati to Newport on the Levee in Kentucky.
The event will begin and end at the World Peace Bell, on the Newport, KY side of the river. Students, church groups,
co-workers, families, friends, walkers of all ages are welcome, including strollers and wheelchairs! Many choose to say the rosary to pray for the end of abortion.
Due to generous sponsors, the event is free to participants, including food (JTM), water, and event t-shirts

Respect Life Ministry warmly welcomes all to particiapate in our ongoing IHM activities. There are many possible levels of involvement, and we appreciate any help that is offered. Looking forward to the next school year, we hope to initiate IHM's involvement in Parishes for Life. Joining with other parishes in the Catholic Social Ministry Collaborative, we will implement a new design to extend our support particularly to women experiencing crisis pregnancies. We hope to foster connections to the crisis pregnancy centers, with offers of ongoing donations and parishioner help with counseling mothers at risk of abortion.
For those who wish to join the ministry, you can email me and be added to our list-serve.
May the Lord of Life bless you and keep you and yours, and may the joy of His Resurrection transform your heart in His image!
