St. Blaise to keep the person free from any
disease of the throat and any other illness.

Annual Rose Day
For many years, pro-life Oklahomans gathered on
the steps of the State Capitol on Sundays for Sanctity of Life rallies. Though the rallies attracted attention from the public and the news media, it seemed
that they never impacted legislation. In 1992, Rose
Day was established to give participants the opportunity to impact legislation by individually visiting
their Senator, Representative and the Governor in
their respective offices, presenting them with a red
rose and encouraging them to protect the life of the
unborn. Each year since, hundreds of pro-life Oklahomans have crowded the halls of the State Capitol
in an effort to make their voices heard.
This year’s Rose Day is scheduled for Wednesday,
February 3, 2016 and is held at the Oklahoma State
Capitol Building, 2300 North Lincoln, Oklahoma City.
The date is chosen to coincide with the beginning of
Oklahoma’s Spring Legislative Session. Rose Day
has two main events: Rose Distribution to Legislators and the Rose Day Rally. The Rose Distribution
begins at 9:30 am. Participants are encouraged to
bring and deliver a red rose to the office of each of
their legislators.
The Rose Day Rally is held a 11:45 am in the House
Chambers. The program consists of recognition of
legislators who are in attendance as well as a prolife
speaker.

Altar Society Audit
The Altar Society would like to
THANK Ray Rudnicki
for his help and expertise in auditing
their financial records.
The following is an excerpt taken from that
audit done on December 7, 2015:
“The Treasurer’s records for the audit are
well organized and are reconciled to the
monthly bank statement. The monthly
reports clearly represent the
finances of the Altar Society.”
Thank you Ray!
