MARCH FOR LIFE 2010

"Jesus Christ gave his life on the cross that we might have life and have it to the full. Each year people of all ages gather from around the country to March for Life in our nation’s capital. This is an opportunity for all those who believe in the sanctity of each human person to express themselves in a peaceful and prayerful way. The focus is life. Bishops, priests, deacons and faithful gather to celebrate the Holy Eucharist the evening before the March at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. The experience of celebrating the Eucharist with thousands of young people is truly inspiring."

The March for Life is held on the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade
on January 22. The Diocese of Joliet Life Office is sponsoring a trip which will depart by bus
from various locations around the diocese.

I am looking forward to the opportunity of being with you on the trip in Washington, DC. We will be able to celebrate the Eucharist together and spend time discussing the sanctity of human life."         Bishop J. Peter Sartain
