Mobile Revives Christ the King Procession

Archbishop Thomas Rodi is reviving the Christ the King Procession in downtown Mobile prior to this Sunday's Christ the King Mass at the Cathedral.

Participants should gather at the cross in Bienville Square, downtown Mobile, by 10:30 a.m. Archbishop Rodi will give an opening prayer and begin the recitation of the Holy Rosary. The procession will continue recitation of the Rosary as it leaves Bienville Square and processes west on Dauphin Street to Cathedral Square. Upon completion of the Rosary, participants will enter the Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, where Mass will begin at 11:00 a.m.

The procession route encompasses a little more than three city blocks, so those unable to walk that distance are invited to be seated in the Cathedral.

During Mass, Archbishop Rodi will confer the first-ever Christ the King Medal to honor a volunteer from each parish who has been nominated by their pastor for exemplary service to the parish. Everyone is invited to participate in this marvelous archdiocesan-wide celebration and witness to our faith and heritage.

Special MoSJ Meeting: Dr. Fletcher Armstrong to speak on the Genocide Awareness Project

Fletcher Armstrong, Ph.D., pictured at right, is the Southeast Director of Center for Bioethical Reform. He is a dynamic speaker and full time pro-life advocate. He will be the guest speaker at the Men of St. Joseph meeting, St. Ignatius Catholic Church, Mobile, Ala., Marian Center, on Tuesday November 17th at 7:30pm.

Consider these two questions as you consider attending:

1. Is there anything more important in our society than ending the mass violence against unborn children in America?
2. Is there any better place to engage this battle than the college campus?

If you answered “no” to both of the above questions, then you want to come hear this talk to learn about the incredible work Fletcher and his organization are doing to end abortion starting on the college campus.

"My first experience with the Center for Bioethical Reform (CBR) was in college just two years ago. I started a pro-life organization at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and invited Fletcher and CBR’s Genocide Awareness Project to my campus.

"It was incredible to see the amount of response we received. Everyone on campus was talking about abortion. It was great! Overall, the results were very positive. We do not know how many lives could have been saved, but we do know we had a major impact on many vulnerable students.

"Most people simply do not know what abortion really is or if they do, they are not fully conscious of its gruesomeness. The Genocide Awareness Project, set up by CBR on college campuses, allows people to become educated. We are pulling back the veil on the abortion industry and showing it to the world!"
