Washington March for Life Events and Agenda |
The annual March for Life activities begin this Saturday. The series of events culminate in the giant March for Life starting from the Mall very near the White House, and which then goes up Constitution Ave and ends at Capital Hill in front of the Supreme Court which was responsible for the judicial activist Roe v. Wade decision.
Following are links to various sites that list details of the activities from Saturday to Monday, the day of the actual March.
The largest events are the National Vigil for Life mass at the huge Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on Sunday evening, the Rally for Life at the Verizon Centre (formerly MCI stadium) on Monday morning and then the March which follows soon after the Rally for Life.
For those unable to attend, some of the major events can be viewed live on EWTN TV which normally provides extensive coverage of the March for Life and related activities.

Heavenly Father, in Your love for us, protect against the wickedness of the devil, those helpless little ones to whom You have given the gift of life.
Touch with pity the hearts of those women pregnant in our world today who are not thinking of motherhood.
Help them to see that the child they carry is made in Your image - as well as theirs - made for eternal life.
Dispel their fear and selfishness and give them true womanly hearts to love their babies and give them birth and all the needed care that a mother can give.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.
Our parish (Prince of Peace in Madison, IN) is sending 20 sophomores, juniors, and seniors to D.C. tomorrow. Add 4 adult chaperones and one awesome young priest who teaches religion at the Jr./Sr. High School to that number. We (Birthline) held a prayer service for them last Sunday afternoon with the K of C in full regalia. These kids are so enthused about going and I wish my kids were older so I could go :)
This sounds so wonderful. Thanks for sharing about the enthusiasm of your youth.
Bypass the media blackout!!!
Good idea!
Thanks for this!
My wife and I attend this rally each year to recharge our spiritual batteries.It is a great ecumenical experience.You get an opportunity to spend the day with many active young people of different backgrouds.It is also a civics lesson on how the media slants the news.There is no greater cause than the protection of human life.
