Life Fest



What better way to celebrate our country's independence day than a festival of life?

This Fourth of July marks the second annual Life Fest sponsored by the Sisters of Life. The day is full of fun with games, food, prayer, and a juggling Franciscan. What more could you want?

EMC was represented by a few of our summer interns. Life Fest gave us a chance to grow in community and fellowship amongst ourselves and other pro life groups like the Lamp women.

Some of the single mother's that the Sisters of Life served through the Visitation Mission were present with their beautiful children. EMC networks with the Sisters and many of our clients have benefited from their apostolate.

One mother stood up during the women's talk with Mother Agnes and thanked the Sisters for "giving her a second chance in life." She shared how she had worked through a difficult relationship and bad situation in her life with their help.

Our work at EMC is closely united with the sisters. It is like we are all soldiers in the same army but we fight on the front lines and they are the special forces.
