“Learn to do good, seek justice,
correct oppression...”
-Isaiah 1:1
These two great signs are now visible on the highway west of town to express the dignity of all God’s children. The anti-human trafficking sign was initiated by the Wagner Coalition Against Sex Trafficking. It was funded by the Benedictine Sisters of Sacred Heart Monastery in Yankton and benefactors of St. Paul Catholic Church in Marty. The pro-life sign formerly hung on the WBS fence and was funded by our Knights of Columbus.
We give thanks to our parishioners’ donations to this project: Father Jim Friedrich for being on the Coalition; Ken and Mary Cotton for their land; Jeff and Julie Doom for machinery and concrete; Don, Jody, Alex, and David Kocer for lumber and construction of the frame; and our Knights of Columbus men for their time and effort in putting up the two signs.
