St. Mary Magdalene Parish establishes memorial for unborn
BY LAVIDA MISCHEL, SPECIAL TO THE WESTERN KENTUCKY CATHOLIC
On Oct. 30, 2022 Fr. Augusty Valomchalil, pastor of St. Mary Magdalene Parish in Sorgho, Ky., blessed an old garden with a new spiritual purpose. With a beautiful stone marker donated by the “Christian Mothers” of the parish, the garden next to the church has become holy ground and is now known as the “Memorial of the Unborn.” The garden is open to all who wish to pray. We continue to pray for all life.
