MARCH FOR LIFE

IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

Friday, January 20, 2023

      

The March for Life in Washington DC took place on Friday, January 20, 2023.  Anyone going to the March was welcome to attend Mass that morning with Bishop Kulick at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel in the National Basilica at 10:30 AM and to march with Bishop beginning at the corner of Constitution and 12th Street around 1:00 PM.

IN HARRISBURG, PA

Monday, September 19, 2022



The first annual PA March for Life was held on September 27, 2021, with great success.  Bishop Kulick and Father Dan Carr led over 150 pilgrims from our diocese to march around the Capitol building in support of the right to life in our state.

A number of our congresspersons then hosted a reception for us in the Capitol, where we had a chance to meet them and talk with them. 

The Diocese of Greensburg again attended the Pennsylvania March for Life on Monday, September 19th in Harrisburg. 
Participants attended a rally, marched around the Capitol, attended Mass at St. Patrick Cathedral and joined local elected officials for a reception in the Capitol.
For more information, please contact Father Dan Carr at DCarr@dioceseofgreensburg.org, or Chrissy Cerilli at 724-552-2581 or CCerilli@dioceseofgreensburg.org.

m4llogo.gifMarch For Life
The March for Life began as a small demonstration and rapidly grew to be the largest pro-life event in the world. In January of 1974, thousands of pro-lifers participated in the first March for Life to stand up against abortion. An inspiring rally was held as Members of Congress announced pro-life legislation and expressed their support for the pro-life cause. Since then, many more individuals have traditionally marched for the legal protection of unborn children and for loving support for suffering women.
