A bus will leave from Queen of Heaven church on Thursday morning, January 19, 2023, to Washington DC for an overnight pilgrimage to the March for Life, returning Friday night, January 20. The theme of the 50th annual march, titled “Next Steps: Marching in a Post-Roe America,” seeks to orient the national pro-life movement as it moves to dismantle abortion across all 50 states. We are celebrating the wonderful blessing of Roe v. Wade being overturned and a call to all pro-life people to work to build a culture of life in the United States of America. We envision a world where every life is celebrated, valued, and protected. Flyers/registration forms are available in the parish office.
