Dr. John Bruchalski to speak at St. Pius X Church
WESTERLY — Dr. John Bruchalski, author of “Two Patients,” will speak at St. Pius X Church, 45 Elm St., on Friday, March 8, 7 p.m. Two Patients is the story of how a physician who practiced abortion came to question the medical status quo and to pioneer an approach to reproductive medicine that respects female fertility, honors the dignity of unborn children, and offers care to patients regardless of their financial situation. Such health care, writes Dr. John Bruchalski, is merciful medicine, and his memoir gives a glimpse of just how merciful the relationship between a doctor and his two patients - mother and child - can be. There will be a free-will offering at this event. For more information, email Valerie sis1170@verizon.net or visit www.drbruchalski.wpenginepowered.com.
