A bus will leave Queen of Heaven Church on Thursday morning, January 19, 2023, for an overnight pilgrimage to the March for Life in Washington D.C. We will return Friday night, January 20.

We envision a world where every life is celebrated, valued, and protected. Flyers/registration forms are available in the parish office and the Gathering Space.
