Open Letter in Support of Arch Bishop Cordileone

Events in our lives tend to take on a life of their own and they can certainly outpace our responses too.  Lord knows we have been through a lot as a nation, as a people of faith, as a Church and, simply as humans who are hurting when others are hurting, like those moms and dads in Uvalde, Texas.  So, my responses to other events in our lives have been a bit tardy, to say the least...

A message from the office of the Diocese of Fresno
This Lenten season brings us a new opportunity for prayer and reflection, through the release of a new movie, “Unplanned”, opening on March 29th. It tells the story of Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood clinic director who experienced a conversion of heart after seeing an ultrasound-guided abortion and understanding first-hand what abortion does to an unborn child. Unplanned is a very impactful movie. It honestly portrays the reality of abortion and is graphic in some moments. It can be a powerful tool to evangelize the truth about the beauty and dignity of every human life and our call to prayerful witness on behalf of all people, born and unborn. Such a movie, with its frank portrayal of abortion may draw out emotions that are difficult. Statistically, 1 in 4 women nationwide have a personal experience with abortion, and many women who have suffered miscarriages, or difficult births.
Some resources to help in these situations are:
