Bronson Polish Festival Parade 2025 Photos

On July 19, Branch County Right To Life joined 51 other entries, to march in the 2025 Bronson Polish festival parade. A huge crowd over the 1 mile route, witnessed our beautiful assembly of adults and children witnessing the sanctity of life. The kids had a great time distributing candy to the grateful spectators. God blessed us with very nice weather and a wonderful reception from the crowd, with many “thumbs up”, smiles and waves along the way. Also joining us before the parade, was our State representative Jennifer Wortz, whose entry was just ahead of ours in line. So much fun! So much LIFE!

Coldwater Strawberry Fest 2025 Photos

On June 22, Branch County Right To Life participated in the Coldwater Strawberry Fest, featuring over 200 vendor booths and a massive crowd, turning out on a 90° plus summer day. Fortunately, a nice breeze prevailed throughout.

Our booth was featured on the radio through the local WTVB radio station. We distributed our RTL literature, and benefited from a wonderful reception from the very supportive, crowd. Very popular, was the free ice cold bottles of water that we distributed throughout. A great crowd pleaser! A raffle and baked goods were popular sales items. A great time was had by all!

God had a special plan for her which included Theresa becoming a certified nurse anesthetist, the mother of 6 children, grandmother of 15 and great grandmother of 5.

Branch County Fair 2024 – photos

Branch County Right To Life again sponsored a booth at the Branch County Fair, together with our precious baby contest. We were blessed with good weather, virtually throughout. It was so wonderful to greet pro-life families and other supporters, as we enjoyed another successful year. Donations, exceeded expectations, and the “vibes” were overwhelmingly positive. What a wonderful opportunity to get our message out. A photo of the winner of our precious baby contest is included in this posting. What a precious example of innocence and joy!

Branch County Right To Life organized a Mother’s Day celebration, handing out carnations at each of the weekend Masses at both Bronson St. Mary’s Assumption Church and Coldwater Saint Charles Church. Board members volunteered and were successful in collecting $910 in donations.

The donations were easy to count, but it was impossible to keep count of all of the happy smiles, resulting from the beautiful flowers!

Celebrate Mother's Day! Carnations will be available from Branch County Right to Life after all weekend Masses. Please join us in this joyful celebration! Donations appreciated.
