 33nd Annual Life Chain - Sunday October 3th 2021   

Life Chain is on the first Sunday of October, from 2:00 pm-3:00 pm at most Canadian locations.

There will be three locations in Stratford this year;

1. In front of St. Joseph's Church on Huron Street, Stratford, Ontario 
2. In front of Walmart store on Ontario Street, Stratford, Ontario

3. In front of Popeyes fast food on Ontario Street, Stratford, Ontario (use to be the Tim Hortan's) 

There will be no social gathering before or after the silent witness to Life. 
 

The past year's Life Chain attracted approximately 175 ++ people in Stratford. Across Canada and the US similar "Chains" enforced the idea that human life, especially those who are innocent and defenceless must be protected. 
It is urgent that we make known the sacredness of life at a time when courts refuse to recognize the unborn child as a human being. 
The overall purpose of the chain is not only to broadcast the message but to emphasize that we will never give in until the unborn are treated like other innocent people.

The Life Chain usually takes place on the first Sunday in October.. 
The participants form a Life Chain (standing approximately 10 feet apart) and carry signs which read "Abortion Kills Children" and "Abortion Hurts Women" (signs provided). 
Please stand on one side of the street only. 
This is a silent, peaceful and prayerful event for the whole family. 
People from our area "Stand For Life" on Huron and Ontario Streets from 2:00 pm until 3:00 pm. 
(will not happen this year due to COVID-19 Afterward, refreshments will be served at St. Joseph's Parish Hall sponsored by St. Joseph's Catholic Women's League and Immaculate Conception). .

Hallowe'en 2013 - Don't Get Tricked Into Supporting UNICEF - October 31st 
While UNICEF does feed and clothe children in 120 countries, it also funds abortion and sterilization in those same countries. 
In the United Nations Fund for Population Activities' own Inventory of Population Projects, it was revealed that in Nepal in 1987-88, UNICEF cooperated in a project "to organize, expand and improve the quality of sterilization in mobile units country-wide." 
In the 1990 inventory, it was reported that UNICEF contributed $1.3 million to aid a project in Malawi which has its own objective, "the development of surgical contraception services." In May of 1993, UNICEF announced that it would increase its support of "major population initiatives."

We cannot support UNICEF if this anti-life work continues. 
We should stop contribution to UNICEF in our offices and in door-to-door appeals on Halloween night and instead contribute to agencies which directly help Third World children such as:

The Holy Childhood Association, Margaret T. Tipping, 
3329 Danforth Aven., Unit D, 
Scarborough, ON M1L 4T3 
Abortion-pushing UNICEF is Back for Hallowe'en and the Whole Month of October in a New Collection Drive
"Trick or Treat for UNICEF" is a program for schools to encourage children to become involved in the abortion-promoting group. The Plan is to extend fund-raising through the schools for the entire month of October. 
Pro-life advocates have campaigned for years against UNICEF's dedication to abortion, calling on them to return to their original vision. 
UNICEF is aligned with International Planned Parenthood, which ranks second only to the Chinese government in the volume of abortions it provides. 
In 1997, The Catholic School Board of Toronto discontinued its token $2000 donation to the organization.
