Walking for Life in San Francisco

ssvm.Walk_.for_.Life_.2014-300x200Our Religious Family in California rejoiced this year to see the Walk for Life West Coast continue to grow and attract more Pro-life activists to San Francisco to protest Roe vs. Wade.  Our sisters and priests from the Shrine of Our Lady of Peace in Santa Clara as well as St. Leo the Great Parish in San Jose organized vigil events and brought parishioners and youth to the Walk for Life on January 25th.

Youth Vigil at Our Lady of Peace

In preparation for the 10th Annual Walk for Life in San Francisco, Our Lady of Peace Shrine held a Vigil Youth Rally for Life on Friday January 24th with about 250 youth, ages 12-25.

The event began with a time of praise and worship songs followed by a skit put on by our IVE seminarians who flew in from Washington DC to be there.  Next, two break-out sessions followed with talks led by the seminarians about how to be a Pro-Life teenage in school and at college.
