LIFESPAN was pleased to send one bus to DC for the 49th annual March for Life! We fondly nicknamed the bus – The Fellowship of Bus 3! 😊 We had to jump through many hoops in the planning of the 2022 Youth Bus Trip and some were very last minute but thankfully those who attended through LIFESPAN were 100% committed and very flexible with us as we changed from a standard trip (staying overnight at a host church after the March) to a red eye trip (returning home after the March). The bus captains were awesome, the whole trip went very smoothly, and the Fellowship (43 people) had a truly great experience together at the March for Life! Many of our Marchers had never participated in the March before! We were so excited to be able to get them to DC! Looking at write ups about the March, it seems the headcount was somewhere in the 100-150,000 range. The coverage from EWTN was really well done that day! If you haven’t seen coverage and are interested, you can watch YouTube videos of the whole March or certain speakers who were at the rally. Some of the rally speaker links are below if you want to check them out.
Locally on January 22nd, LIFESPAN offered the Motor City Caravan for Life. People of all ages participated in the event. It began at the Shrine of the Little Flower and ended up at Assumption Grotto. There was prayer at the graveside of the unborn baby and a social afterwards for anyone who wanted to stop by!
What were you involved with on or around the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Doe v. Bolton? I hope you were able to do be a part of something whether at school, at church, or at an event elsewhere in our state.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Be the Change (3-11-22 in Wayne County and 3-12-22 in Oakland County, see registration details on the flier)
33rd Annual Baby Shower (see various dates listed on the flier)
We wanted to share these fliers with you and then you can in turn share with family and friends! We hope that many of you will be able to attend Be The Change either at Divine Child or at the Auburn Hills Christian Center. And, maybe your school or faith community would like to host a Baby Shower in March. See all the details on the two fliers.
Also, here are some pro-life news links that are worth sharing with you! Please forward to others!
