On a warm but windy afternoon, Saturday, September 4, 2010, the grave marker for
23 victims of abortion, murdered in 2008 at the Woman Care abortion clinics in
Lathrup Village and Southgate MI, was dedicated by Archbishop Allen Vigneron of
the Archdiocese of Detroit. In his sermon addressed to those gathered at the
grave site, the archbishop called these innocent victims truly the least of
Christ's brothers and sisters and urged that we pray for their mothers and
fathers--- pray for them so that they will be able to meet their children in
heaven in a moment, not of fear and accusation, but love and reconciliation. See
below the photos. We thank Lynn Mills, Rick Mucha and Patrick Miller for
capturing these beautiful moments. We thank the Wietecha Monument Company for
contributing the monument and Holy Sepulchre Cemetery for contributing the
installation of the marker. We thank Janice Priest for her solo song
performance. We thank Fr. Lee Acervo, Associate Pastor of Our Lady of Good
Counsel Parish for assisting the Archbishop at the ceremony. And we are so truly
grateful to Archbishop Vigneron for his presence and leadership.
Let the aborted babies' voices beneath this stone cry out to us. Let us
re-double our efforts to end the slaughter of abortion!
