The Respect Life Committee of St. Raphael-Holy Angels Parish, Hamilton, will hold an Evening of Prayer Jan. 22 to observe the 45th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.
“Roe v. Wade was such a tragic decision. We wanted to commemorate it and pray for an end to abortion,” said Diane DiGiovacchino, coordinator of the Hamilton parish’s Respect Life Committee. “This event is intended for those who could not attend [March for Life] in Washington, D.C., and is an option to show support and witness for life.”
The evening of prayer will begin with the 6:30 p.m. Mass in St. Raphael Church, 3500 South Broad Street, Trenton, and will be followed by the Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and recitation of the Rosary. Pro-life literature will be available in the narthex, and light refreshments will be served.
