If you ever want to be uplifted, full of life and hope, you need to experience The March For Life in Washington DC. We joined the Indiana group with the Knights of Columbus at the National Mall. The excitement of being surrounded by thousands of like-minded pro-life people is what feeds our fire to continue to be a voice for the precious pre-born babies who are in danger of being aborted. Especially seeing the thousands and thousands of high-school and college students who traveled far distances to stand up for life was uplifting! They are our future hope!

This year’s rally made historic measures with the attendance by the only sitting president ever! The President made an uplifting speech promising he would continue to support pro-life efforts. He also stated that everyone is precious in God’s eyes and has the right to life. The Vice-president and his wife also sent a video to support the March.
There were several more presentations from individuals making their stand for life and telling their stories. Two women who are now mothers spoke of their life struggles after they were a product of a botched abortion. How they have forgiven their birth mother but wanting us to understand the reality of abortion.

Following the rally, the crowd amounted to several hundred thousand people converged to march down Constitution Avenue around the Capital Building and ending at the Supreme Court Building where Roe VS. Wade was put into law in 1974. Even though our presence is peaceful, our motives are fierce and we must all stand together to protect the lives of those who are most vulnerable.
We also attended the opening mass National Prayer Vigil for Life at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on January 23. The homily was beautiful and carried a strong message for our church. This was certainly one of the highlights of the trip. You can see the mass on YouTube below.
