Respect Life Mass and Prayer Service

October 18, 2026 11:00 AM - 01:00 PM
Location: Saint John Catholic Church, 24043 302nd Place, Adel, Iowa 50003

We warmly invite you to St. John Catholic Church in Adel for a Respect Life Mass at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 18. Immediately following the Mass, we will gather in our Memorial Garden for the Unborn for a special prayer service and the dedication and placement of memorial stones in remembrance of unborn children or infants lost too soon.  We are blessed to welcome Bishop William Joensen as the main celebrant of the Mass and as the leader of the memorial stone dedication ceremony.

You are welcome to prepare your own memorial stone ahead of time, personalizing it with a name, date, or other meaningful inscription in honor of an unborn child or infant lost too soon. Please bring your completed stone with you to place during the dedication ceremony.  Learn more at: www.stjohnsadel.org/memorial-garden-for-the-unborn.
