The 27th annual “Giving Hope—Changing Lives” event raised $215,000.

New memorial to the unborn makes ‘good statement on human life’
After seven years of raising funds and planning, the Pro-Life Ministry of St. Matthew the Apostle Parish in Indianapolis proudly held a dedication ceremony for the parish’s new memorial to the unborn on May 1. After the 9 a.m. Sunday Mass, parishioners and pro-life advocates gathered just outside of the entrance to the church, where Father Nicholas Dant, the parish’s pastor, blessed the new stone bench and memorial. “It fits perfectly into this alcove by the entrance,” Father Dant said. “It’s where it was meant to be.” (Page 14)
