Each January, on or around the date that the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade
and Doe v Bolton decisions legalized abortion, the March for Life along with numerous Masses, prayer services, rallies and conferences take place. Many travel to Washington, D.C. in most years, but this year will be more virtual. This will allow even more people to be part of opposition to a culture of death. This is also a wonderful opportunity to delve more into ALL life issues. You can do this by sharing resources (website, social media, snail-mailed information), forming a small group to discuss the issues, have virtual/online sessions, gather safely in-person with all pandemic protocols followed, Here are links to websites that may be of assistance:
In 2021, be sure to share with families the news about all the virtual opportunities, many or which are listed at: youngstownoyyam.weebly.com/march-for-life-with-youth.html I am also hearing of creative ways to still have a "March for Life" experience closer to home:
----- A Prayer for Life Father and maker of all, you adorn all creation with splendor and beauty, and fashion human lives in your image and likeness. Awaken in every heart reverence for the work of your hands, and renew among your people a readiness to nurture and sustain your precious gift of life. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen. ((c) USCCB)
