Chaminade Students Participate in Annual March for Life

Monday morning over 100 members from the chapter of the Catholic League left Long Island to demonstrate in Washington, D.C. in the 39th annual Right to Life March.

Students departed from Chaminade at 6 a.m. in a pair of buses that arrived in our nation’s capital early enough to listen to many of the speeches, songs and prayers, which preceded the march.

All the students had the chance to greet Rev. Bishop William Murphy, who welcomed the group.

A number of pro-life politicians and religious leaders addressed the crowd gathered on the Washington mall and the students joined tens of thousands of other marchers as they walked down Constitution Avenue to the United States Capitol Building and the Supreme Court, whose decision in the case of Roe vs. Wade that affirmed that a person has a right to an abortion.

Catholic League members had the opportunity to meet pro-lifers from all parts of the country, including several Chaminade alumni as they promoted the “Culture of Life” in their demonstration.
