The Helpers of God's Precious Infants Greater New Haven

J.M.J.+
I am emailing in regards to our next peaceful prayer vigil which will take place on Saturday, the 31st of May outside Planned Parenthood (345 Whitney Avenue New Haven) from 8am until 12 pm noon, the hours which the babies are scheduled to be killed by abortion.

As the new President of the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants Greater New Haven I had the privilege, along with my family of being invited to spend a weekend at the Monastery of the Precious Blood with Msgr. Philip Reilly. There I had the opportunity to train one on one with him in regards to the Helpers Spirituality, sidewalk counseling and the organizational methods he employs at both his small “prayerful presence” vigils he holds daily as well as his large monthly vigil. Monsignor graciously critiqued the way our large monthly vigils have been running and has left me with great confidence in how we can improve our apostolate here in New Haven and encourage it to grow. The opportunity has been greatly fruitful and enlightening and I will be calling a meeting in the near future to explain to each of you in detail the positive changes which we will be making under the guidance of Msgr. Reilly at our weekly vigils as well as our large monthly. It is our goal to make our apostolate uniform to that of the Helpers in NY, which is how it was intended to be, and when we reach that goal to invite our Bishops as well as Monsignor to lead us in prayer as we process from the Church to the abortion Mill. He has agreed to come whenever we are ready for him. Please feel free to once again review the Helpers New York website at http://www.helpersbrooklynny.org/.

Our apostolate both weekly and Monthly has always followed the Helpers spirituality of fasting, peaceful prayer (especially the Rosary), and offering ourselves at the foot of the Cross as we pray and keep vigil. Before I was asked to be President of the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants Greater New Haven, we watched the pro-life prayer presence form outside Planned Parenthood each Saturday, growing by the grace and the will of God. It gives me great joy to be able to officially unite this beautiful prayerful presence all of you have created weekly, with the large monthly Helpers Prayer Vigils as one apostolate. In light of my new responsibility as President of the Helpers and with Msgr. Reilly’s joyful blessing I am pleased to be clear in saying our apostolate officially has a name. We are the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants Greater New Haven. It is with great happiness and anticipation I look forward to sharing the further details with you. I will be in touch soon with information about our upcoming meeting.

May God bless you,
Mike and Kerry
