******* This is in response to the performance of "The V****** Monologues" being held at SLU.
**********************
We are going to meet in front of St. Francis Xavier Church at 5:45PM. The 'theater' is across the street from the Church. Once we are all assembled, we will walk to the theater and begin the protest at 6PM and stay until 7PM when the 'play' starts.
We have notified the police that we will be on the sidewalk protesting. Depending on how or if they get involved they may ask us to picket. Mostly they just ask that we not block the sidewalk.
We will pray the Rosary (15 decades) and the Litany to the Blessed Mother (I have a mini megaphone for amplification) and end with any hymns that we all know and can sing.
We will have a large banner on poles for display. We are also trying to get signs made, however if you could or would like to bring a sign, please do. It should be large enough for passing cars to read. We only ask that people use discretion on the wording of their signs, no vulgar words, just clear statements like "Louis University turns their back on Catholic Teaching" etc...(I am clearly not a good sign writer)
We are also working (hopefully since time is so short) on a flier to hand out to passers-by at the protest. Something like a post card with Father Biondi's address on it, with a statement of outrage printed which a person can sign and then mail to his office.
Are there any priests that you know who might attend?
Let me know if you have any other ideas.

As much as I wish to attend Stations of the Cross Friday night, this prayerful vigil in protest is something which I feel must be done since I can pray the stations afterwards in private at the chapel.
If you are in St. Louis, and wish to attend, please do so.
