FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

 

Franciscan Father James E. Goode and the Board of Consultants of the
National Black Catholic Apostolate for Life announce
 
“June is All Acts of Violence and Abortion Awareness Month 2013”.

 

For the past 15 years the National Black Catholic Apostolate for Life has invited the nation to join them as they pray, educate, motivate and move our nation, to a nation of peace and non violence, according to Msgr. Mauricio West, Vicar General Diocese of Charlotte and member of the NBCAL Board of Consultants.

 

The Board of Consultants of NBCAL this year, more than ever, is outraged by the violence that surrounds our communities.  Yet, as faith filled Catholics, we are resolved to live and preach the Gospel of Life.  “As a people of life we are motivated by the words of
Saint Francis of Assisi. “You must have peace in your hearts.  Let no one be provoked to anger or scandal by you, but may they be drawn to peace and good will, to kindness and concord through your gentleness.”  stated Father Jim Goode, OFM,
President of the National Black Catholic Apostolate for Life.

 

Come and join us as we consecrate the month of June as “June is All Acts of Violence and Abortion Awareness”.  In the words of Therese Wilson Favors, "Wake up family a Revolution is Warranted to end all violence…”


A Revolution is Warranted
 June is All Acts of Violence and Abortion Awareness Month 2013”

The National Black Catholic Apostolate for Life was inaugurated in the fall of 1997, with the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus and the
Franciscan Solid Ground Ministry as sponsors and with the support of the late John Cardinal O'Connor, then Archbishop of New York and the Archdiocesan Office of Black Ministry - Brother Tyrone A. Davis, CFC, Executive Director.  Since then, NBCAL Affiliates
have been established throughout the United States.
