Hundreds gathered this past weekend in West Chester to rally for an end to legalized abortion and to “give witness to the sacredness of every human life.”
Sponsored by the Chester County Pro-Life Coalition (CCPLC), the Chester County March for Life on June 25 drew some 500 participants, most of whom first gathered at St. Agnes Church for a liturgy at which Philadelphia Auxiliary Bishop John McIntyre presided, joined by several concelebrants. A concurrent prayer service for Protestant march attendees was also held at a nearby church.
President Joe Biden passed on delivering the 2021 commencement address at the University of Notre Dame on Sunday as thousands of the Catholic institution's community members objected to the invitation over the president’s pro-abortion policies.

It has been common, perhaps even tradition, for new presidents to give the commencement speech at Notre Dame. That won’t happen this year.
Joe Biden, the self-described devout Catholic, won’t be present. He has a scheduling conflict. Only that’s not the story. The story is that 4300 members of the “Notre Dame community” don’t want him there since he is opposed to everything they stand for as Catholics.
