March for Life

Due to COVID and travel limitations, Assumption BVM parish will not sponsor a bus trip to Washington, DC this coming year. In lieu of traveling to Washington, DC, the Knights of Columbus will hold a Parish March for Life event on Saturday, January 22, 2022 at ABVM Church. There will a solemn Mass at 8:30 am mourning the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion in the United States. After Mass, the parish will proceed around the parish grounds with the Holy family statues which symbolize the domestic Church. Those who cannot process can remain in the Church until the procession returns. After the procession, we will return to Church and say the rosary for the current nine (9) Supreme Court justices deciding the Dobbs vs. Jackson Woman's Health court case. The Dobbs vs. Jackson Woman's Health case could strike down the Roe vs. Wade decision and allow each state to establish state abortion rights. We encourage as many parishioners as possible to join us as we use our voices to speak for God's precious infants. If you would like more information, contact Steve Jackson at 267.315.5294 or sjjackson76@aol.com. Thank you
