2ND Annual FRED SMILES for LIFE April 30, 2016

     Finding Pastor Fred Naedele without a smile was like finding a balloon in a Buffalo blizzard. I never visited Pastor Fred behind bars, but I can only imagine the smile on his incarcerated face. His pro-life perseverance landed him in jail. Fred was arrested because he wanted all children on both sides of the womb to smile when they heard how much Jesus loves them.
     Released from prison, Pastor Fred the jailbird flew free and spread his wings with a message of true freedom. He spoke from Elma to India and many points in between. You might be tempted to label Pastor Fred as a law-breaker, but that wouldn't begin to define the Way he used Truth to birth new Life.
     Everyone who talks about Fred now in remembrance of his life has good things to say. Here are a few quotes from a Facebook Post:  "Pastor Fred was an amazing man." "Precious wonderful person!" "What a blessing and gift God lent to us." "Miss you Sweet Pastor Fred....One of the Best men I have ever known.......xo......"  "With tears, yes , Pastor Fred was the best!! If you would have met him, you would understand and agree too with us all!" "I learned a song from father fred when I am 9 or 10 years old COME AND BE WITH ME In my father's house"
     Do you like to smile? The 2ND Annual (Unofficial) Fred Smiles for Life will be held on April 30, 2016. The Catholic Diocese of Buffalo has an active Pro-Life Ministry and i just kind of tag along. They have a Life Mass at 8:00 am at St. Rose of Lima Parish (500 Parker Avenue, Buffalo) Mass will be followed by a silently and prayerfully procession to and from a local abortion clinic (optional) where we join together in prayer. Closing prayers will take place upon our return outside of St. Rose of Lima. Respect Life Committees, Youth Groups, Parish Ministries, are especially encouraged to join us to show their support for the Sanctity of Life.

     I walk the route smiling prayerfully. I remember Pastor Fred and I pray for children on both sides of the womb. Anyone is welcome to walk and all of our smiles for Fred and children are unofficial. If you need more info please call Bob at 716-830-8240 or just show up and smile, walk and pray - that's Fred's way!            Here is something that is official:

Jesus loves you and so do we!
