On this week’s episode of Talking Catholic, two well-respected pro-life advocates join cohosts Mike Walsh and Jen Mauro to talk about the upcoming Mass for Life, rally and march taking place Sept. 25 in Trenton.

Jennifer Ruggiero, director of human life and dignity for the Diocese of Metuchen, and Rachel Hendricks, coordinator of the Respect Life Ministry in the Diocese of Trenton, discuss the misinformation being spread and health risks of abortion; the beauty of coming together statewide as a faith community, and how the march at the State House is especially important in this election year for New Jersey.

The second annual event begins at 9:30 a.m. with Mass in Saint Mary of the Assumption Cathedral, Trenton. The Mass will be followed at 11 a.m. by a rally at the Statehouse Annex a few blocks from the Cathedral. The march starts at noon.
