Life Chain Canada 2004<br/><br/>

Life Chain Canada started in 1987 and it originated in the city of Yuba, California, U.S. Abortion was common in those days. A group of activist who love and protect life, together with the church, the media and the politicians, promoted an One-Hour Silent Prayer in every traffic intersection of the cities. They carried with them the slogans of Love for Life to serve as civic education for the public. The number of abortions that year decreased by 60% compared to previous years.<br/><br/>

Canada has been holding the nationwide “Life Chain Canada” activity since 1990. This year the event will be on October 3, next Sunday, from 2 pm. to 3 pm. Steeles/McCowan has been the centre point of this activity since 2003. It is a very convenient place for our parishioners to participate.<br/><br/>

I have participated in this activity for the past two years. At the beginning, I felt uneasy and not so comfortable. However, for the sake of expressing the principle of “respecting life”, it is worthwhile even at the expense of receiving strange look from the others. It is true that we need courage to stand in front of the public.<br/><br/>

I sincerely invite all the parishioners and their family members to participate in this meaningful activity.
