-In concert with Right-to-Life Lifespan of Oakland and Macomb Counties, 75 students and staff from the Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes High School and 7 Brother Knights from the Pope Saint John XXIII Council #5436 worked together to set up the parish's annual "White Cross" display. Unfortunately, this powerful outdoor public statement of 1,900 crosses represents over 3,000 babies losing their lives to abortion each day. The purpose is to publicize the reality of abortion while enlightening everyone to the healing message of repentance, forgiveness, and the sacredness of life offered by the Church. Kudos to Lady Debbie Brenner, Brother Knights Doug Ritter and Michael Mandziuk, and the OLL Parish Youth Evangelization Director, Michelle Marcy, for coordinating this year's effort. The display will remain on the parish lawn along busy Dixie Highway until September 25th.
