Sacred Heart parishioner board the bus to Little Rock to participate in the March for Life. |
On Sunday, January 22, 2012, parishioners from Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church took a bus ride to Little Rock to participate in the annual March for Life. The march is held annually on or near the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. A national march and rally takes place in Washington, D.C. on January 23
rd. Catholics from around the state joined together in Little Rock to celebrate life at a Noon Mass on Sunday officiated by Bishop Anthony Taylor at the Robinson Center. Following the mass, those attending joined hundreds of additional Pro-Life Arkansans from all over our state in the march from Capital and Louisiana streets to the State Capital where several speakers addressed the crowd including U.S. Representative Tim Griffin. Sacred Heart has participated in the march for several years to give witness to the need to “Choose Life” and “End Abortion Now”.
