2012 March For Life in Washington DC….Cold and Wet, But Determined!
January 23, 2012 by Matt K Cassens
In spite of the rain, in spite of the cold, the turnout for the 39th Annual March For Life looked as strong as last year. People came from all over the country to celebrate life and to protest once again the unfortunate decision by the Supreme Court in the case of Roe Vs. Wade, legalizing abortion-on-demand.
I expected a lower turnout this year because of the rain, and also because most major cities are doing their own marching or walking (out west). The fact that the crowd is every bit as large as before in DC tells me the pro-life movement is GROWING.

week of prayer for christian unity
24 Jan
The Church Unity Octave, a forerunner of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, was developed by Father Paul Wattson, SA, at Graymoor in Garrison, New York, and was first observed at Graymoor from January 18-25, 1908. Today, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity invites the whole Christian community throughout the world to pray in communion with the prayer of Jesus “that they all may be one” (John 17:21).
In 1966, the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches and the Vatican Secretariat (now Council) for Promoting Christian Unity began collaborating as a common international text for worldwide usage. Since 1968 these international texts, which are based on themes proposed by ecumenical groups around the world, have been developed, adapted and published for use in the United States by the Graymoor Ecumenical and Interreligious Institute.
Welcome: Joint Message
Sisters and Brothers in Christ:
Each year Christians gather to observe the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. As we prepare to join together in prayer we remember the theme for the annual celebration. “We Will All Be Changed by the Victory of Our Lord Jesus Christ” (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:51-58). It is a theme evoking the transformative power of faith in Christ, particularly in relation to our praying for the visible unity of the Church, the Body of Christ. It is in His life, action, teaching, suffering, death and resurrection that we seek inspiration for a modern victorious life of faith.

The 2012 March for life at Washington, DC, scheduled a day after Roe v. Wade decision anniversary. It will be on Monday, January 23, 2012

March for Life schedule for 2012
In 2012, the anniversary date of the Roe v. Wade decision will fall on a weekend, a time when lawmakers are typically away from Washington. We want to make sure that our pro-life pilgrimage to our nation’s capitol has maximum impact on our elected leaders; and that our Marchers have an opportunity to visit with their Congressional delegations in order to press their pro-life message. For those reasons, we have scheduled the March for Life to be held on Monday, January 23, 2012.
