The 2010 March for Life is on Friday, January 22

The annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. is this Friday. This event has taken place annually since 1974 in order to encourage our nation and her political leaders to support a culture of life rather than embracing a culture of death. The march occurs on the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Roe vs. Wade (1973) which decriminalized abortion throughout the United States.

People from all walks of life, political views, and religious beliefs come together in solidarity in our nation's capitol in order to peacefully promote the protection of human life from conception to natural death. This year, our Bishop will be a concelebrant at the March for Life Youth Mass at 10:00 a.m. on the day of the march. For more information about all of the events surrounding this year's march, visit the March for Life Web site.

Parishioners from Charlottesville are invited to participate in the march. A bus will be traveling from Charlottesville to Washington, D.C. on the morning of January 22nd. The bus will leave at 8:00 a.m. from the Church of the Incarnation, and the bus is scheduled to return at 8:00 p.m. the same day.
