The 44th annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. is set for January 27 and the Diocese of Sioux Falls will have a group of pilgrims in the nation’s capital making a statement in support of the culture of life.
Emily Hoffmann and Eric Gallagher of the Office of Discipleship and Evangelization are working to put together the contingent from east river South Dakota that will attend.
This is the fifth year the diocese has coordinated a trip to the March for Life. People interested going along should act soon to be part of the pilgrimage.
The group will depart from the diocese January 25 following Bishop Paul J. Swain’s blessing of the group and their buses.
The group will return to the diocese on Sunday, January 29.
Additional information or signing up can be accomplished by contacting the office of Discipleship and Evangelization at 605-988-3766 or discipleship@sfcatholic.org, or through parishes.
The bus trip and participation in the march is open to adults and young people. Middle school aged yo01ung people can attend as long as a parent attends with them.
The pilgrimage will include participation in the March on January 27 as well as participation in the Catholic Youth Rally and some free time to visit the sites of the nation’s capital.
The March is usually held January 22 on the anniversary of the Roe V. Wade decision, but is delayed this year because of the Presidential inauguration on Jan. 20.
