Fall 2025
The first annual Pennsylvania March for Life was held on September 27, 2021, with great success. Bishop Kulick and Father Daniel E. 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 latest PA march took place on Monday, October 16, 2023.
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
We proclaim that human life is a precious gift from God; that each person who receives this gift has responsibilities toward God, self, and others; and that society, through its laws and social institutions, must protect and nurture human life at every stage of its existence.
Catholic Charities Social Ministry
The Office for Pro-Life Ministry and Advocacy invites individuals to address both immediate social, and community needs in their areas, and to work to build a just and peaceful society. The parish is truly Catholic when it proclaims the Gospel, lives through service to others, as well as when each member of the faith community reflects on Catholic social teaching and puts that teaching into practice.

March 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.
