Ultrasound Dedication at the Waterleaf Women's Center in Aurora on Saturday March 17, 2018. Over 32 Councils, Assemblies and the Chapter in the Joliet Diocese raised over $40,000 towards the purchase of the machine. This along with the $12,500.00 matching funds allowed Waterleaf to secure a new ultrasound machine.

Dear Brother Knights, Worthy Squires, Lovely Ladies, and Pro-Life Friends:

In the recent past, the State Legislature of Illinois passed a law on Civil Unions. It was subsequently signed into law by the Governor. Much was said in the media about the issue. It even brought on a response from the City of Chicago on the possibility of it being illegal for the Religious Communities to speak out against the law! Francis Cardinal George addressed the issue in his next two weekly commentaries. He has given us permission to publish his articles in their entirety! It is printed here in two parts. Included is a letter from Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki on the moral issues of this next election.

With prayers and best wishes for all that you do for Life.

Larry and Marge Theriault

Illinois State Council
