ANNUNCIATION PRO-LIFE MASS Holy Rosary Catholic Church • 4851 Park Avenue, Memphis MARCH 25, 2019 • 7:00 PM March 25 is the feast of the Annunciation, marking the visit of the Archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary, announcing that she would be the mother of our Savior, the Word made flesh. It is also the day of an international pro-life celebration: the International Day of the Unborn Child. Established by St. Pope John Paul II to coincide with and honor the feast of the Annunciation, the pope wanted people in every part of the world to celebrate the gift of life by remembering all unborn human life. In inaugurating this day in 1999, the great champion and defender of human life united the universal Church in a single act, boldly proclaiming the value of every human life while in the same moment stressing the necessary importance of defending the most vulnerable. The Annunciation invites us to reflect upon the wonder of every human life, particularly the amazing world of the developing child yet to be born. Please join us for the celebration of the Catholic Diocese of Memphis Annunciation Pro-Life Mass at 7 PM on Monday, March 25 at Holy Rosary Church!
