Catholic men urged to pray for end to abortion March 19 in Anchorage

Catholic Men for Life, a lay apostolate at Anchorage’s Holy Family Cathedral, has invited all local Catholic men to gather on Saturday, March 19, to peacefully pray for an end to abortion.

The gathering will begin with Mass at 7 a.m. offered by Dominican priest Father Dominic David in the secluded parking area on the west end of 40th Avenue. Following the outdoor Mass, participants will walk over to the sidewalk in front of the Planned Parenthood abortion facility at 4000 Lake Otis Parkway at 8 a.m. for a continuous rosary vigil until 3 p.m.

Alaskans invited to weigh in on sexual abuse, dating violence curriculum

The Alaska Safe Children’s Act requires that Alaska school districts teach students about sexual abuse, dating violence and personal bodily safety. The law faced criticism earlier this year in the Senate Education Committee when committee chairman, Sen. Mike Dunleavy of Wasilla, amended the bill to allow school districts the option of opting out of the curriculum. Additionally, Dunleavy added sections banning abortion providers like Planned Parenthood from working in schools, and requiring schools to get permission from parents before their children can participate in sexual education classes. The final bill removed these provisions.
