The newly married Aaron and Diana Banyai! Two of our QV leaders, not to mention scripture scholars, and good friends. Please keep them in prayer as they begin a new life and vocation, asking for the Holy Spirit’s guidance and light as they mirror Christ and the Church to the world.

Just a reminder about two things today.
1. There is Adoration all day long TODAY at Ascension in the chapel. Stop by during lunch or after work to see Jesus in all his beauty. Even if its for 5 minutes, go see Him, be still, and spend some time together.
2. The First Friday regional YA mass is tonight at Christ the King in Norfolk. Adoration at 6pm, Mass at 7pm, and open mic-night following. Spread the word, bring your friends, connect to the region.
If you cannot make it to DC today, please take some time out of your day to pray for the March for Life, the unborn, for mothers facing difficult decisions, for doctor’s that participate in this industry, and for national awareness on the Truth of right to life issues. Popes Paul VI and JPII…pray for us!
