Throughout this week and the upcoming weekend, the nation remembers the 46th anniversary of the
U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion at
any stage of the preborn baby's life in his/her mother's womb. To sadly
commemorate this decision and its tragic consequences, there are a
number of observances taking place in this region and throughout the
nation.
The March for Life was held today (Friday, 18 January) in
Washington, DC. The Opening Mass of the National Prayer Vigil for Life was held in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on Thursday (17 January). The Most Reverend Joseph F. Naumann, Archbishop of Kansas City, KS (and Chairman, USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities) was the Principal Celebrant and Homilist at the Vigil
Mass.
