Respect Life Ministry

eNewsletter | August 23, 2022

Dear Pro-Life Friend,

The Life Ministry Team has been busy all summer as Belkys and I transition into our new positions as Director and Assistant Director. We thank you for all the prayers and well-wishes!

We are excited to announce two additions to our Respect Life Team! Marcela Villegas (not so new!) and Mackenzie Fraser.

Marcela Villegas is a veteran team member who came to us in 2016, first as a volunteer in our N Dade center and then as on ultrasound technician at our S Broward Center. Marcela also worked along side me as C0-Coordinator of the S Broward center for one year and was a Project Rachel facilitator. Her new position will bring her onto our Administrative Team serving as the "Special Programs Coordinator." She will oversee our new Project Rachel program "Entering Canaan," as well as help to start a miscarriage ministry and NFP program - to name a few!

Mackenzie Fraser comes to us from outside of Buffalo, NY. A recent University of Buffalo graduate, Mackenzie earned a BA in Psychology and a minor in Counseling. Mackenzie shared, "In the last 2 years, God revealed Himself to me in a new way and I converted to the Catholic faith. Little by little the Lord molded my heart in a way that was passionate to help others that are struggling in this world. In my previous local parish, I took an interest in the Respect Life work that was being done to stand up for innocent human lives. I attended March for Life this last spring and a banquet that was held to spread awareness and education on this topic. I applied for this position in South Florida because I felt a calling from God to be a part of this ministry that continues to save the lives of babies."

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Ronald Muscarella, my father, who passed away on August 26th.  


Yours In Christ,

Angela

Your prayers are needed outside of abortion sites - remember we are there to PRAY - no shouting, megaphones, speakers or inappropriate signs. We want to offer hope, love and support - not condemnation.

Again, a peaceful, prayerful, law-abiding way of approaching men and women outside the sites. Please contact Linda Fernandez at linda@sidewalkadvocates.org if you would like to be trained .
