March for Life in D.C. set; Mass for life planned in Diocese


Following the June 24 overturn of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court, the national pro-life movement has gained new momentum for the annual National March for Life in Washington, D.C.

The 50th annual March for Life – the first post-Roe – is planned for Jan. 20 following a Rally on the Mall beginning at noon. For more information visit marchforlife.org.

For persons in the Diocese of Trenton who cannot participate in the March or would prefer to stay local, the diocesan Respect Life Ministry will sponsor a Diocesan Mass for Life Jan. 20  at 11 a.m. in St. Robert Bellarmine Co-Cathedral, Freehold. The diocesan Offices of Pastoral Life and Mission and Communications will post information, inviting the participation of as many as possible priests, deacons and lay parish leaders as well as parish respect life comittee representatives and youth pro-life leaders. The Knights of Columbus and supporters of pregnancy support organizations like Birthright, Madonna House, Good Counsel Homes, St. Vincent de Paul conferences, diaper drive and food pantry volunteers who are supporting the "Walking with Moms in Need" initative will be invited.

“The necessary work to build a culture of life at the national level is not finished,” emphasized Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore, chairman of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities. “Rather, it is focused differently.

“The goals of these important efforts are not only to change laws, but to change hearts and minds to usher in a culture of life,” Archbishop Lori continued.
