Washington, DC

It is most imperative that we continue our Pro-life activities on behalf of the unborn children. 

The "March for Life" at our Nation’s Capital on Friday, January 22, 2010, will serve as witness and as advocacy seeking the protection and overall respect for every unborn child in the progression to birth. Scientifically and religiously, we know the truth that it is a human life, a person, who is conceived within a woman. 

Clearly, then, we must at all times continue to stand up and speak out for the overall respect for the unborn children. We must always pursue the protection and total well-being of the unborn person with the same commitment and compassion that we pursue these rights for the born person.

We ask that you, our parishioners, will participate in this "March."

See you in Washington! Watch this space for more information!
