Many of my readers may already know about White Rose Women’s Center, the abortion alternative in Dallas which helps women with unplanned or crisis pregnancies. White Rose does tremendous work. There is another organization, affiliated with White Rose, which helps raise funds for White Rose and educate people on abortion and its terrible consequences. St. Joseph’s Helpers helps provide fundraising for White Rose, while also offering extensive resources for education and conversion. Right now, St. Joseph’s helpers has a host of materials that can be used for presentations in churches or the classroom. These resources include instructional videos on the nature of abortion and the lives it affects, the terrible consequences mother’s bear after having an abortion, and the help that is available to women who face a crisis pregnancy.
Would you consider, in your charity, assisting St. Joseph’s Helpers? They are always in need of support in the form of prayer, volunteering, and donations. White Rose can always use donations of diapers, baby formula, and new or very good condition baby clothes. Another way you can help is to contact your pastor or parish staff to try to arrange for a presentation by the staff of St. Joseph’s Helpers in your parish. If you are a teacher or homeschooler, perhaps you would consider using their materials in your class. While engaging in political efforts to end legalized abortion on demand is a laudable effort, we must also concentrate efforts on ending the demand for abortion through efforts to change hearts and educate minds.
I wrote yesterday about a really bad day praying outside an abortion mill. White Rose can and does make a huge difference in helping women (and men) choose life, but sadly, this weekend, they were very short staffed. If you are opposed to abortion and know of its terrible cost, I pray you might consider supporting St. Joseph’s Helpers. I can think of few better ways to live your Faith and to help the mission Christ has charged all of us with, to bring the light of Faith and Truth to all.
Dominus vobiscum!
