While the annual Youth Rally and March for Life is typically held in Washington, D.C., this year schools and youth groups are invited to participate virtually on Jan. 29, beginning at 8:30 a.m. and ending at 11 a.m. Mass will begin at 10 a.m., then transition into live coverage of the march on EWTN.
The keynote speaker is Josh Brahm from the Equal Rights Institute. Brahm will discuss ways to talk about pro-life issues with pro-choice people in a persuasive way, eliminating faulty rhetoric and tactics.
Traditionally the march coincides around the same time the 1973 Roe v Wade court decision took place, legalizing abortion nationally. Since 1974, the March for Life has easily become the largest pro-life event in the world. Serving as a peaceful protest, hundreds and thousands of youth, young adults and adults gather from across the nation and world, to march together in solidarity.
Registration is now open online. Join the Diocese of Albany at no charge for this annual youth and young adult pro-life event. Registration: http://youthrallyandmassforlife.org/
