Readers who live in the Des Moines area, you are invited and encouraged to come to the Pro Life Mass tonight and a prayerful vigil outside Planned Parenthood on Saturday.

Catholic Charities Social Justice Consortium of the Diocese of Des Moines invites
the public to attend the annual Mass for Life on Friday, January 21, 2011 at St.
