March for Life
Plan now to attend the March for Life in Washington, DC in 2020! Buses will leave from St. Paul’s Cathedral following the Respect Life Mass which is held at 7:30 p.m. will travel to the Basilica of National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC in time for morning Mass followed by the March for Life at noon.
Buses will return to Worcester immediately following the March, arriving back at Cathedral at approximately 1 a.m.
Can’t attend this year but want to help? Consider making a donation that will help defray expenses for our students who want to attend but might otherwise find it difficult to do so. Thank you!
We want to be in solidarity and to pray for and with those who will be travelling to Washington, DC to attend the March for Life with hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from around the country in January 19, 2018.
“Filled with this certainty, and moved by profound concern for the destiny of every man and woman, I repeat what I said to those families who carry out their challenging mission amid so many difficulties: a great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world. Through special initiatives and in daily prayer, may an impassioned plea rise to God, the Creator and lover of life, from every Christian community, from every group and association, from every family and from the heart of every believer. Jesus himself has shown us by his own example that prayer and fasting are the first and most effective weapons against the forces of evil (cf. Mt 4:1-11). As he taught his disciples, some demons cannot be driven out except in this way (cf. Mk 9:29). Let us therefore discover anew the humility and the courage to pray and fast so that power from on high will break down the walls of lies and deceit: the watts which conceal from the sight of so many of our brothers and sisters the evil of practices and laws which are hostile to life. May this same power turn their hearts to resolutions and goals inspired by the civilization of life and love.” Pope John Paul II, Evangelium vitae, no. 100
