The Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFRs) are sponsoring the "Future Depends on Love" Tour starting on Aug 3 in Philadelphia and ending on Aug 11 at the National Shrine in Washington, DC. The Tour will feature a series of talks, prayer vigis and a pilgrimage to help bring an end to abortion. Complete details including the novena prayer are found on their website.
Love... that's what this culture lacks. True love is the only way to build a culture of life.
The Tour is taking place Aug 3-11 with lectures in towns between Philadelphia and Washington, DC. Please join us.
