"On Friday, April 26th, 2024, at 7:00 pm, we are hosting a free movie screening of "SPELLERS," sponsored by High River Pro-Life. Everyone is invited to attend. The movie is inspired by the book Underestimated and challenges conventional wisdom regarding nonspeakers with autism, who are often relegated to society's margins. While most "experts" believe these individuals are cognitively disabled, the documentary provides a new perspective."

To help raise this money, I'm hosting a Silent Auction and Coffee House event at St. Francis De Sales on May 5th, from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM. This will be an afternoon filled with performances, sweet treats, and exciting auction items! This will be the last day to purs Additionally, if you have any items you'd like to donate for the auction, whether it's a cherished possession, a handmade creation, or a service you can offer, your generosity would be immensely appreciated.
