Our Lady of Guadalupe Helpers Vigil and Dr. Chu's Memorial mass

J.M.J.+

Dear Fellow Helpers of God's Precious Infants,

Please read and note the format change for this month.

The Monthly Prayer Vigil for December will be held this coming Saturday, December 12th on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, outside Planned Parenthood’s state Headquarters at 345 Whitney Ave in New Haven. The Prayer Vigil will begin with the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at 7:30 AM at Saint Mary's Church in New Haven on Hillhouse Ave. It will be followed by Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament for half of an hour and concluded with a closing Benediction at approximately 8:30 am.

We will leave Saint Mary's Church while praying the Rosary directly after Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Those who cannot process with us and wish to partake in the vigil will stay behind for Adoration and closing Benediction. We will not be reconvening at St. Joseph’s parking lot as regularly scheduled, but will be processing on foot directly from St. Mary’s to Planned Parenthood where God’s precious infants are scheduled to be killed. We will be lead by the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe and escorted by the New Haven Police who will block off the intersections so we can safely process in the street.

After we have concluded our prayer vigil at Planned Parenthood we will then process on foot directly back to St. Mary’s Church where we will partake in the memorial Mass for Dr. Jim Chu which will begin at 10:00 am. Representing Jim as the founder and director of the Helpers in New Haven and to honor him as well as Our Lady( of course), we will process into the church and place the Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe to the side of the Sanctuary. Paul Chu has arranged reserved seating in the front rows for all Helpers who will attend.
The change in schedule is to accommodate the 10:00 am memorial Mass for Dr. Chu whom we all love. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen
May God bless you,
Mike and Kerry
