looking forward to next year's Pilgrimage for Life!!!


Pilgrims from Boston

The Pilgrimage for Life was hosted this year by the Vocation Office and the Office for the New Evangelization of Youth and Young Adults. We left with 3 busloads of high school students from Boston on Wrednesday Jan. 21 to travel to Washington D.C. arriving at our hotel around 10 p.m. On thursday morning we had Mass with Cardinal Sean at a local parish and then headed to the March. It was great to see so many young people marching for the dignity of human life. After the March we had pizza at a local parish followed by a holy hour. After a good night's rest, we had a tour of D.C. monuments and the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception before heading home.

The Pilgrimage of Life was a great time for all involved. It was meaningful to have young people stand up for this cause.
