YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION, MARCH FOR LIFE 2019
Time sensitive information: We need immediate commitments to go to Washington, DC on our March For Life Bus. The cost has gone up by $300 for the bus, and in order to insure that PCUC does not lose money on this trip, we need to have a nearly full, if not full, bus. The deadline for us to put a $200 deposit on a bus is October 31st, so we need commitments ASAP. We are trying to stay in the $40 to $50 range per adult, and keep students at $25. The bus will leave a New Castle area location around 4:45 am, Friday, January 18th, and return around 1 am the next morning. It is a fun and rewarding trip, and allows us to continue showing Washington DC and the rest of the country that we stand for life and will continue to do so until a culture of life is once again the priority and reality in the United States. I strongly believe that we must stay engaged in the pro-life movement on every front, and this is a national stage televised by EWTN every year. Please do not hesitate to reserve your seat TODAY so that we can continue this witness before the US government and the pro-choice advocates. We need your support! If you cannot go, please consider a donation to sponsor someone who needs assistance with the fee. To reserve your seat, please call either Joanne at 724-667-9510, or Sue at 724-866-5675 before October 25th, as we will be making a decision then regarding the affordability of this trip. The entire amount does not have to be in immediately, but a deposit of at least $20 will help us make a good decision. Thank you to all in advance for your support of this most important cause: respect for life at ALL stages, from conception to natural death.

Below are quotes from the March for Life Website:
Vision: A world where every human life is valued and protected.
Mission: The mission of the March for Life is to provide all Americans with a place to testify to the beauty of life and the dignity of each human person. Both in January, on the anniversary of legalized abortion in the US, and throughout the year we bring together pro-life leaders and groups to organize, unite and strategize around a common message, and to communicate this message to the government, the media and the nation in a way that is powerful and life affirming.
History: January 22, 1973 is ingrained in the minds of pro-lifers because on that infamous historic day the Supreme Court invalidated 50 state laws and made abortion legal and available on demand throughout the United States in the now-infamous decisions in Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton.
original march for life with NellieThe March for Life in Washington, D.C., began as a small demonstration and rapidly grew to be the largest pro-life event in the world. The peaceful demonstration that has followed on this somber anniversary every year since 1973 is a witness to the truth concerning the greatest human rights violation of our time, legalized abortion on demand.
At the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, we mourned the death in 2012 of Nellie Gray, the founder of the March for Life and the “Joan of Arc” of the pro-life movement. In October 1973, months after the Roe and Doe decisions, a group of thirty pro-life leaders gathered in Nellie’s home in Washington, D.C. to discuss how to commemorate the one-year anniversary of Roe. There was a fear that January 22 would pass as any other day rather than allow for a moment to reflect upon how legalized abortion had hurt women and taken babies’ lives over the course of the year. That was the day that plans for the first March for Life began.
SECOND EVENT:
ABOVE: At every “Light A Candle for Life” there is a group of students who sing “I’m Glad that God Made Me”, by local composer Reatha Gibbs. Reatha is the secretary at Prevailing Word World Outreach Center. That’s her on the right. She attends every pro-life event and is always among the last to leave because she wants to help with the final details, like helping us load our cars. Reatha is a kind, thoughtful and very smart woman with many talents, including a high expertise with a computer!
The 32nd annual “LIGHT A CANDLE FOR LIFE” Prayer Vigil of the New Castle Chapter of People Concerned for the Unborn Child, will be held on Sunday, JANUARY 21, 2018 at Kennedy Square (The Diamond) in New Castle. Beginning at 6pm, every person will pick up a luminary kit which contains dry sand, 10 white lunch bags with names (for babies who never got a name, because they were never born) printed by students at the New Castle Christian Academy and St. Vitus School.
Tables will be set up on the sidewalks at the Diamond so that those attending can prepare the one thousand luminary candles which they will place and light on the plastic covering the ground. We will kneel and pray in memory of the 61MILLION+ American baby boys and girls who have died by abortion and for their mothers, who have been forever harmed by their abortion since the Supreme Court abortion decisions of Roe vs. Wade and Doe vs. Bolton on January 22, 1973.
The agenda for the evening is as follows: 6:00PM at the Diamond, Comments by Claudia McConnell, Co-Chair, PCUC. The Opening Prayer will be led by Rev. David Bell, Pastor, First United Brethren Church; “God Bless America” will be sung by students of St.Vitus School, New Castle Christian Academy and the American Heritage Girls. This will be followed by the lighting of the luminaries. At 7:00PM a Prayer Service will be held inside at St. Mary’s Church Parish Center, one block north of Kennedy Square. Comments will be made by Sue Deasey, Co-Chair, PCUC. The main Speaker will be Sarah Bowen, Executive Director, Alpha Omega Centers followed by the Benediction by Rev. Zachary Galiyas, Parochial Vicar, Catholic Community of New Castle.
Those attending are encouraged to bring new baby Items to be donated this year to the Alpha Omega Centers

“Voiceless” is a pro-life movie which challenges clergy and lay people to speak for and act in defense of God’s gift of human life from conception to natural death. “Voiceless” is about a newly recruited church Outreach Minister who realizes that across from the church is an abortion mill. He is convicted by God to put his faith into action and reach out to those being influenced by the clinic. The film was created by The Dove Foundation and will awaken the hearts of every Christian.
THOU SHALL NOT KILL. ABORTION KILLS.
Who are the “Voiceless”? They are little unborn babies and those who refuse to speak for them. Abortion kills wee little unborn babies, each with it’s own DNA . BUT…we are silent, WHY? Nearly 3,000* babies die every day in the United States, the majority in Planned Parenthood abortion mills.
PCUC, New Castle Chapter has received a license from The Dove Foundation which expires in May of 2018.
The movie is rated PG-13. Runtime is 1 hour, 42 minutes. Below is a link to the trailer of the movie.
