Pro-Life Billboard and Ad Campaign
Specific information about the campaign can be found at: http://www.dioceseofvenice.org/pdffiles/pdf_respectlife/prolifebillboard2003.pdf and at http://www.dioceseofvenice.org/specialissues/parishbulletin.cfm, then the Mustard Seed newsletter dated "September 26". See recommended billboards and ads below. Other options are on the web at www.lifecan.org. Locations depend on what is available at the time. We will be consulted whenever there is a choice.
This is a great opportunity to spread the pro-life message, and we appreciate what Ed Daccarett (President) and L.I.F.E. are doing. It is a huge commitment on their part. They are counting on God (and many of you and people in your parishes and organizations, like the Knights of Columbus, Conference of Catholic Women, etc.) to help fund the project. Please do whatever you can to spread the word and ask for donations so that this project can go forward. Please contact the Respect Life Department and let us know what groups you are able to introduce to the campaign. If you have any questions, please contact Jeanne Berdeaux.
The first ad we are recommending, with the slogan, "The Right to Life & Liberty Begins at Conception," shows the picture of the American flag and baby (see bottom section, left side, 3rd down). Our Lady of Lourdes in Venice is sponsoring billboard on their own.
We may recommend a second ad, possibly combining the two ads below: the slogan "Adoption...A Life Saving Option!" with the picture of the three babies.
