If you have a Respect Life issue that you feel needs to be heard and would like to see it in the news page please let us know. Join us as we pray for an end to abortion in front of Planned Parenthood, every other month on the third friday of that month.
If you would like to help us in promoting Respect Life by volunteering with our group call us. If you would like to sponsor our group with a monthly donation or a one-time gift to help us purchase literature needed to teach our community about pro-life issues and to teach our young how to live by pro-life teachings. Please send your donation to the office or simply put it in the collection plate (just make sure to note on the memo “For St. Bart’s Respect Life Group”).

Program originated in College Station where 40 churches of a variety of christian denominations came together to oppose planned parenthood and collaborated to have prayer warriors on the sidewalk doing sidewalk counseling during all the hours of operation. This was successful to the point that Abbey Johnson quit, wrote a book (Unplanned) and the College Station Planned Parenthood Clinic closed and 40 days for life became an international movement.Over ten years ago, the Respect Life ministry at St. Bartholomew joined the “Forty Churches” program of the Houston Coalition for Life in order to help maintain a peaceful prayerful presence on the sidewalk in front of one of the largest abortion clinics in the world.
As part of that program, parishioners of St. Bartholomew pray at the
Planned Parenthood clinic (4600 Gulf Freeway, Houston, TX 77023) on the third Friday of all odd-
numbered months (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep and Nov). We split each day into three 2 ½ hour shifts, but you are welcome to come for any length of time. We car pool for each shift from the St. Bartholomew parking lot, leaving at 6:30 AM, 9 AM, and 11:30 am. (We also pass out bilingual coupons for free ultrasounds and free pregnancy tests.)
Big Blue Bus is at Planned Parenthood 7am to 3pm Monday thru Thursday but only 7am - 11am on Fridays. Hours and locations for Baby Blue Bus vary at other abortion clinics.
Contact Mark and Pam Wegenka (281-395-4223) for the 6:30 AM trip,
Margaret Parmenter (832-405-4054) for the 9 AM trip, or
Dan Stuckey (281 804 4006)
for the trip at Noon on our next scheduled day of prayer November 16th , 2018.
Dan Stuckey will provide thorough English explanation and answer questions if you leave voicemail or text on 281 804 4006.
For information in Spanish call 832 244 8724.

Mobile Crisis Pregnancy Centers
Within the first year of operation beginning January 2011, the Big Blue Bus had seen over 600 visits;
90% of the girls choosing life for their pre born child! Thanks to generous donors, a gifted RV, several private grants, and talented visionaries, Baby Blue rolled into service in November last year, joining Big Blue Bus on the road.
The Blue Buses Are Very Busy
The Houston Coalition for Life operates two mobile crisis pregnancy centers, our Big Blue Bus and Baby Blue. For the week of July 13th through the 18th, we had the honor of serving 69 women. Thanks be to God for the opportunity to be able to offer free pregnancy tests and free ultrasounds to women right next to where the abortions are being committed.
On Friday, July 17th, when the faithful pro-life prayer warriors from St. Bart's were on the street in front of Planned Parenthood, our Big Blue Bus was able to serve 12 women. One of the women who sought our services was on her way into Planned Parenthood to schedule an abortion but decided to check out the free ultrasound we offer. This young woman had already aborted two of her children and was bent on making the same choice this time. But when our ultrasound began we immediately were able to see two babies in great detail; they were in separate sacs (so they are fraternal twins) with two little hearts just beating away! She realized that she could not make this so-called "choice" again and fell in love with her babies. Praise God! We know that when people are present in prayer that hearts are changed and lives are saved from the evil of abortion.

Texas Rally for Life
https://www.texasallianceforlife.org/texas-rally-for-life/
The 2019 Texas Rally for Life will be held on Saturday, January 26, 2019. The Texas Rally for Life will commemorate the 46th anniversary of the tragic Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973, which made abortion legal throughout all nine months of pregnancy. In the wake of Roe, legal abortion in our nation has claimed the lives of more than 60 million unborn children and has hurt countless women and men.
