Franciscan Take on Pro-Life Lessons

“The promotion of the culture of life should be the highest priority in our societies…If the right to life is not defended decisively as a condition for all other rights of the person, all other references to human rights remain deceitful and illusory.” Pope John Paul

This baby is so cuddly!

I think he’s laughing too!

Wouldn’t it be fun to be a mommy and a daddy?

As our country marks the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade and as the Church joins in a day of prayer that life might be reverenced, the Kindergarten students of St. Francis of Assisi School enjoyed some lessons on their value as a person.  They learned about how they were created and how they grew.  They marveled at the wonder of God’s power at work in them. 

Hand painting makes a great heart.

 They worked on a special coloring book that highlights their beginnings as babies. 

I want to make this look beautiful.

It took 9 months for me to get ready to be born!

They also practiced how to handle the precious gift of a baby.

I used to hold my little sister like this.

You have to hold his head like this.

Is this right?

May their expressive faces share with you the love and joy present in their hearts as they learned these important lessons!

Being a daddy would be fun!

Babies are great!
