NEW YORK, December 10, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation and Priests for Life have jointly announced the establishment of the "International Day of Prayer and Remembrance for Terri Schindler Schiavo, and All of Our Vulnerable Brothers and Sisters" ("Terri's Day"), to be observed each year on March 31, the date of Terri's death.
The purpose of the day, the groups explained, is to foster education, prayer, and activism regarding discrimination against the disabled, and advocacy for people in situations similar to what Terri and her family faced.
Fr. Frank Pavone said, "Those of us who were with Terri will never forget her life and her death. For the sake of all the vulnerable, it is critically important that those who never knew Terri likewise remember the lessons that God taught us through her."
Suzanne Vitadamo, Terri's sister, adds, "No family should ever have to witness what my family witnessed, watching a loved one slowly dehydrate to death. We want Terri's day to remind us all that persons with disabilities are never burdens and should be treated with nothing but our unconditional love and compassion."
In the early weeks of 2008, educational and prayer materials will be released that can be used by parishes, disability and pro-life groups and all communities to observe Terri's Day.

It’s 39 degrees here with sunshine. It almost snowed somewhere in Fla last night. They say tonight will be even colder. So much for Algore’s global warming. Strawberries are at risk.
Let’s hope he will not run for another office.
He won’t. Freepers got him re-elected. He lost a bunch of us over Terri.
We had crime in our area yesterday. I was looking at real squad cars instead of watching tv. Florida is not such a good state any more. Governor crist doesn’t seem aware that there’s a crime wave and in addition, people are being taxed and insured to death.
Rubio is a conservative. the krister is an aloof, playboy, jet setter when we need someone "grounded". When he talks about when he was a quarterback, it's so fraudulent. The only reason he was quarterback was because his dad was on the school board and daddy demanded that krister be the quarterback. The real quarterback got demoted, went to a rival school Dixie Hollins or Northeast High and beat the pants off of St. Pete High.
His quarterback stories do not impress or amuse me. You can see by his sinewy build that he's no quarterback. He's no conservative either. But he's GREEN, he and Ahnold. How much is that green gonna cost us since he's made some kind of deal with the power companies and told clean coal to take a hike?
Total loser and so are the people of Florida. I'm proud I didn't vote for him.
