Making a statement with crosses

A group of people from St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Grand Haven, Michigan, surrounded their church with crosses. The wood was donated and so was the factory space to make the 4,000 crosses. Young and old alike met on several occasions to manufacture, paint and place in the ground 4,000 pink and blue crosses.

The police department received numerous calls in protest, but the church also had wonderful comments. Father Michael Shea talked about the crosses at every Mass that weekend. Most people were amazed to learn that 4,000 abortions are performed in the United States per day. On January 22, the church had a candlelight vigil and about 125 people participated.
