On Sunday, Aug. 21, the ninth Annual Mass for the Unborn took place at St. Anthony's Church in Rama with the Holy Rosary led by the Knights of Columbus before the Holy Mass. After the Holy Mass, all gathered at the statue of St. Gianna Beretta Molla, the pro-life saint, with Rev. Michal Pajak O.M.I. saying a prayer to St. Gianna in thanksgiving for her courage to choose "life" while sacrificing her own.
All then proceeded to the Parish Hall for a potluck lunch with a short program to bid farewell to Rev. Pajak who has served St. Anthony's Parish for the past five years. Head table visiting guests included the Knights of Columbus, Joe Neskar (Foam Lake), Leonard Slugotski (Buchanan) and Merv Polzen (Kamsack). Joe Kowalyshyn acted as emcee. He also presented a gift on behalf of St. Anthony's Parish. Merv Polzen said a few words on behalf of the Yorkton-Melville Deanery and Mary Kowalyshyn spoke on behalf of St. Anthony's Parish Ladies and Choir. Rev. Pajak spoke a few words as a final note.
