St. Mary’s Catholic School, The Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception Church and the Women’s Resource Center will host the third annual Natchitoches March for Life on Friday, Feb. 2.  Local speakers from various organizations will offer different perspectives on the meaning of being a pro-life advocate. Grae McCullough, a Catholic musician and worship leader from Alexandria, will perform prior to the Rally and March.  The day will begin at 10 am on the riverbank stage in downtown Natchitoches.

 The national March for Life began in Washington, D.C. in January 1974.  Every year, tens of thousands of pro-life supporters, march in support of life.  This has become the largest human rights demonstration in the world.  The national March for Life “is an inspiring, peaceful, vibrant, and joy-filled rally of women, men, young people, and children from all across the country.” (See www.marchforlife.org).  Together, they “gather to celebrate life, from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death, and every moment in between.” (See www.marchforlife.org).
