Make plans now to attend nation’s
premiere pro-life prayer service
National Memorial for the Preborn is on morning of March for
Life
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The best way to begin the March
for Life is with prayer, and for the last 20 years, the best
place to pray has been at the National Memorial for the Preborn
and Their Mothers and Fathers, an interfaith service of worship,
preaching and song sponsored by the National Pro-Life Religious
Council (NPRC), Faith and Action, Priests for Life, and other
religious groups.
The 2015 National Memorial will take
place from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 22 – the morning of the
March for Life – at DAR Constitution Hall, 1776 D Street NW, at
18th Street.
“The National Memorial is the nation’s
premiere pro-life prayer event, bringing nearly a hundred clergy
and thousands of laity together from dozens of denominations to
pray for an end to abortion,” said NPRC President Father Frank
Pavone. “Few things bring the followers of Christ together more
effectively across denominational lines than the pro-life
effort. This event gives collective witness to our society that
we stand together on the biblical historic teaching on the
sanctity of life and that we stand together in the trenches to
actually achieve that victory in practice.”
The prayer
service, organized by the NRPC, the National Pro-Life Center on
Capitol Hill, Faith and Action, Priests for Life and Gospel of
Life Ministries, is free and open to the public. Tickets are not
required and because of the size of the historic and beautiful
Constitution Hall, the event is perfect for large groups.
For the convenience of Catholics in attendance, Mass will be
celebrated at 7:30 a.m. For information, go to
