Every day, more than 3,000 children are killed through abortion and their bodies discarded as medical waste.   it's time to honor their lives and give them the dignity that the tragedy of abortion denied them.

 Please join is in a memorial service at 1PM to be held inside the Holy Family Mausoleum near the Memorial to the Unborn at Holy Cross Cemetery in Akron.
