Bishop Tyson Voices Opposition to Abortion Mandate in Washington State

Dear Friends:

Here’s a copy of the homily I delivered at the recent Mass for Life this last week at St. Paul Cathedral in Yakima.  My thanks to so many who turned out for this first annual Mass for Life.  I also am grateful for the many folks who signed up for our pro-life community dinner afterwards.  Many Blessings!
