In Thanksgiving For a Baby Named Kevin!

Dear Fellow Helpers,
I am posting in regards to our next peaceful prayer vigil which will take place on Saturday, November 21st 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. Please join us to take an hour of prayer. Abortions also take place on Wednesday from 11-3pm as well as Friday from 8 am-12 pm noon.

So many thanks to all of you who donated your time, offered your prayers, and donated a gift! Victoria and her family were so touched by your love.
We cannot wait to meet baby Kevin in January!

God bless you and thanks be to God for this baby!
Mike and Kerry

I have spoken to some of you in regards to a baby shower which is being planned for one of the women that we are currently helping who changed her mind and decided to choose life for her baby at Planned Parenthood. Victoria is currently six months along and has 3 other children. She and the father of the baby are from Colombia and the father, Derik, also had a conversion of heart that day and has been very supportive of Victoria and the baby. Phil Liquori was able to encourage them to talk to a very special priest. Now they are hoping to not only prepare for the Sacrament of Marriage but also have their children baptized in the Church. I am currently looking for recommendations on who might know a priest willing to take on this family? If you have any ideas please email me. The graces from your prayers as Helpers have extended beyond the realm of saving a life into bringing souls back to the Church. Thanks be to God and to Our Lady for her unceasing prayers! On Saturday, November 14th a prayer Vigil and baby shower were held at both St. Mary’s and St. Anthony’s in New Haven. Financial difficulty was the main reason Victoria and Derik were headed to Planned Parenthood. Victoria didn’t have any baby items as she recently moved from Florida due to financial hardship and had to leave much behind. At the end of the baby shower she thanked everyone and was really moved at seeing everyone’s generosity and the caring way so many people had reached out to her. The baby will be due at the end of January and his name is Kevin.
The note above is an edited summary of Mike and Kerry Guidone’s great work at Helpers of God’s Precious Infants in New Haven.
