General Announcements
Pro-life advocate Abby Johnson to speak at Pregnancy Care Center of Southeast Indiana fundraiser on Sept. 12
Internationally acclaimed pro-life advocate and best-selling author
Abby Johnson is the featured speaker at the 30th annual Pregnancy Care Center of Southeast Indiana (PCC) fundraiser banquet at
The Woodlands, 9580 Cilley Road, in Cleves, Ohio, from 6:30-9 p.m. on Sept. 12.
Johnson is the former director of a Planned Parenthood facility. She turned pro-life in 2009 after witnessing an ultrasound-guided abortion. She is the founder of And Then There
Were None, a ministry to assist abortion clinic workers in transitioning out of the industry. She is also the author of UnPlanned and the subject of a movie by the same name. Both chronicle her experiences within and departure from Planned Parenthood.
There is no charge to attend the banquet; however, there will be an invitation to make a financial gift to support PCC, which offers pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, education on abstinence and pregnancy options, parenting classes, material support and male mentoring for individuals and couples facing an unplanned pregnancy.
Dress for the evening is business attire, and the event is for adults only, due to limited seating.
Reservations are requested by Sept. 1 at www.supportpccindiana.org (click on Events) or by calling
812-537-4357.

Writer, director present for screening of film on first U.S.-born black priest on Aug. 10 at the Catholic Center
The archdiocesan Black Catholic Ministry is hosting a screening of the film Across about the first U.S.-born black priest, Father Augustus Tolton, in the assembly hall at the Archbishop Edward T. O’Meara Catholic Center, 1400 N. Meridian St., in Indianapolis, from 1:30-3 p.m. on Aug. 10.
Chris Foley, writer and director of the film, will be present for a question-and-answer session after the film.
Father Tolton was born into slavery in Missouri in 1854 and baptized as a Catholic. After his father died in the Civil War, Tolton escaped with his mother and three siblings to Quincy in the free state of Illinois.
His parish priest allowed him to attend the parochial school despite opposition from white parishioners. He attended seminary in Rome because no seminary in the U.S. would accept him. Father Tolton founded a parish for black Catholics in Chicago in 1894. Through his dynamic leadership, the parish grew from 30 to 600 parishioners in just three years.
Father Tolton died in 1897. His cause for canonization began in 2010, and Pope Francis advanced Father Tolton’s cause for sainthood in 2014.
There is no charge for the screening of Across, although freewill offerings will be accepted.
For questions or more information, e-mail Pearlette Springer, Black Catholic Ministry coordinator, at pspringer@archindy.org.
