On January 19-24, 2012, nearly 550 young people
from the Dioceses of Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, and Jackson, MS traveled together to Washington, DC to attend the March for Life. The March took place on Monday the 23rd, the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Participants experienced what it means to stand up for one of the core values of the Catholic faith: the dignity of all human life. Along the pilgrimage participants experienced many forms of Catholic prayer, from daily Mass to Eucharistic Adoration. The pilgrims returned home with a renewed sense of strength in their Catholic faith.  
Louisiana Life March   

While many youth from the Diocese of Baton Rouge were marching in Washington, DC. Fellow Pro-Lifers in Baton Rouge marched in solidarity at the Louisiana Life March on Saturday, January 21, 2012. Nearly 3,500 people gathered at the
Old State Capital to participate in the March.

The goal was to unite the life-affirming people of Louisiana, across all denominational lines, to take a stand for life in our State's Capital, and mobilize them with resources to go make a difference in their community.
