ELECTION PREP: PROLIFE SACRIFICE AND PRAYER

Young adult Catholics invite Americans to pray and offer up sacrifices in support of pro-life and family values this election

Washington, DC (OCTOBER 1, 2008) - Sacrifices for Life, a young adult Catholic organization in support of the sanctity of life, invites others for a call to action to uphold family values through sacrifice and prayer from now until Election Day.

“The upcoming election is crucial for the pro-life movement in this country,” said Diana Roccograndi, Sacrifices for Life founder. “Many of us are praying and working to elect pro-life candidates who will fight to uphold our family values – our prayers and works will be more powerful when united with sacrifice.”

The effort is growing exponentially as Election Day approaches with members joining across the country.

Sacrifices for Life is a pro-life effort to rally Christians to make daily sacrifices for the cause of restoring a culture of life in America -- to help turn the tide against abortion and other anti-life practices that are threatening to destroy the family, and ultimately, society itself.

There are numerous examples in the Old and New Testaments and the lives of the saints which prove that prayer and action combined with sacrifice can bring God’s mercy and healing to our land. We are asking that individuals pledge to generously offer sacrifices from now until the elections on November 4th.

For more information and to participate in this effort go to www.sacrificesforlife.org. We ask everyone to join us in this effort by distributing the flyer widely to others.
