MADISON — The outside temperatures were in the single digits but dozens of hearts were on fire to protect the lives of the unborn.
During the noon hour on January 12, pro-life supporters and state lawmakers gathered on the steps of the State Capitol for a Rally for Life.
The event was co-sponsored by Pro-Life Wisconsin, Wisconsin Family Action, and Wisconsin Right to Life.
The home of the state’s lawmaking chambers served as a backdrop to call attention to three pro-life bills with hopes both the State Assembly and State Senate will pass them before the session closes in March. They include:• Assembly Bill 305/Senate Bill 260, which bans the sale and use of the body parts of aborted babies in Wisconsin.
• Assembly Bill 310/Senate Bill 237, which redirects money from the Title X grant program away from Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin.
MADISON — Theology on Tap for young adults will meet on Thursday, Jan. 28, at 7 p.m. at the Brink Lounge, 701 E Washington Ave.
Msgr. Kevin Holmes, pastor of Cathedral Parish in Madison, will speak on “Are Catholics Allowed to Think? The Intellectual Tradition of the Christian Faith.”
This lecture, on the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, will focus on if religion relies on ignorance and superstition, fighting against scientific knowledge to protect a medieval faith, or if Catholics are “allowed to think.”
BARABOO — On Saturday, Jan. 30, St. Joseph Parish in Baraboo will be hosting a men’s retreat titled, “Men of Mercy” at Durward’s Glen.
This year’s featured speaker is Fr. Scott Jablonski, parochial vicar at St. Bernard and St. Henry Parishes in Watertown. Activities during the day include Mass, small group discussion, Rosary, Confession, and Adoration.
The retreat begins with Mass at 8 a.m. and concludes by 3:30 p.m. New this year, there will be an optional Friday night program beginning at 7 p.m. for those who want to extend their retreat.
