For the past 30 years, every Good Friday local pro-lifers gathered at McQuaid Jesuit High School for a pro-life prayer service, followed by a Stations of the Cross procession to a site where abortions were performed. They pray for a variety of life issues in addition to abortion - war, euthanasia, economic injustice, abuse, the imprisoned, the addicted, and more.
The doctor who performed those abortion passed away last year, so the service moved this year to a new venue - Corpus Christi Church - and the Stations led to a new site - Planned Parenthood's headquarters
This year for the first time there was Diocesan recognition, and as such Elizabeth M. Johnston,
Coordinator Life Issues & Cultural Ministries for the Diocese, spoke at the prayer service.
Pax et bonum
