St. Aloysius Parish

A very special speaker is coming to St. Aloysius! Christina Bennett was going to be aborted but a miraculous encounter saved her life moments before the scheduled termination. Upon discovering this news in college, she committed her life to fighting for the ending of abortion. After graduating college with a degree in Business Communications, she moved to Washington D.C. to serve as a pro-life prayer missionary at the Justice House of Prayer and later in Atlanta as a missionary at the International House of Prayer Atlanta.

Christina is a writer whose work has been featured in Live Action News, Life News, Charisma, and LifeSite News among other publications. Her story is featured in the films Pro-Life Feminist, Still on that Journey, and Hear from Heaven. She has had the honor of testifying for the pro-life cause in two congressional hearings. Christina served four years as a Client Services Manager at a CT pregnancy center and currently works as a news correspondent for Live Action. She is a devoted wife, mother of an adopted son, and faith filled Christian.

She is an engaging and dynamic speaker and we are blessed to have her here at our parish. This is a great opportunity for you to accompany your child to hear her personal story, as well hearing about the importance of respecting life when it comes to abortion, adoption, supporting women in Crisis Centers (like Malta House), supporting suffering and vulnerable individuals in the area of assisted suicide and current CT life issues and advocacy opportunities like the CT March for Life in March.

She will also address practical and age appropriate ways to talk to children about these issues, so that the foundation of our beliefs about the respect for life from the moment of conception to natural death can be part of the moral foundation of our families.

Parents and grandparents, teens 14 and older (8th grade and older), young adults, couples and those who may have questions about Supporting Life from pregnancy through end of life are encouraged to attend. If you have younger children and you wish to bring them, it is a family decision.

Students who attend must attend with a parent and may claim 1.5 hours of spiritual work of mercy, parish service or other service.
The talk begins at 7:30 pm, so we ask that you arrive at 7:20 pm to the Church so that we are all seated and we can begin on time.
