National Day or Remembrance
Cities throughout America are getting set for the National Day of
Remembrance for Aborted Children.
The date, Saturday, September 14, marks the historic burial of hundreds of
bodies of aborted babies in Milwaukee 25 years ago. Eric Scheidler of the
Pro-Life Action League tells OneNewsNow 37 gravesites and 360 memorials for the
unborn have been discovered.
"We are going to these gravesites and other memorial locations for the
unborn victims of abortion to pray for our country, to pray for an end to
abortion and to mourn the loss of these children of God to abortion over the
years," he shares.
Those sites are listed on a special website.
In Illinois, some sites include: St. Mary Cemetery in Evergreen Park in
which Bishop Alberto Rojas, a Catholic Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago, and Carol
Rybacki, a representative of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, will speak.
There is also a memorial at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside where Cardinal
Francis George of Chicago and Joe Scheidler will be attending and a memorial at
Resurrection Cemetery in Romeoville where Bishop Joseph Siegel, the Catholic
Bishop of Joliet, and national activist and blogger Jill Stanek, who is from the
far southwest suburbs of Chicago, will participate.
"You can go to AbortionMemorials.com and find those
locations and even volunteer to coordinate a memorial service," the pro-lifer
reports. "It can be anything from an elaborate service with pastors and with
special prayers and a program and maybe even invite the media, to simply going
out with a group of fellow committed pro-lifers to pray on that day in
solidarity with others around the country who are remembering the victims of
abortion," Scheidler suggests.
Those victims include the women who have aborted their children.
Event organizers are also asking people willing to set up memorials and
conduct a National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children event either this
year or in the future to contact them for information on how to do so.
More than 56 million babies have died through abortion in America
