In the first reading, Peter speaks about Jesus’ ministry, death and resurrection. He recounts his appearances to chosen witnesses, whom he commissioned to preach in his name.

Pro Life Alberta
Pro-Life Alberta is asking that people let Danielle Smith know that we agree with her stance on getting pa- rental consent on minor medical procedures. If medical procedures performed on minors require the consent of a parent or guardian, why is it different when it comes to abortion? Pro-Life Alberta wants to encourage Premier Smith to take the next step. Let’s make sure that parental consent is required for every medical decision involving minors, including abortion. Please e-mail Premier Smith at premier@gov.ab.ca your support for this movement.
