The right to life is a human right. Our defense of that right is a joyful witness to the beauty and dignity of every human person. The March for Life is an inspiring, peaceful, vibrant, and joy-filled rally of women, men, young people, and children from across the country – and it’s the largest annual human rights demonstration in the world. This year's March will take place on Friday, January 23rd. Although there will not be a bus from the Eastern Shore to the March this year, you can carpool with fellow parishioners to DC or to the Metro stop off Rt. 50 at New Carrolton.
