Washington, D.C., is usually buzzing at this time of year with groups of high school students who have flocked to the nation’s capital for the March for Life. But the event will be held virtually this year due to public health and safety concerns, so schools and their students are marking the 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade a bit differently. When the march’s organizers announced on Jan. 15 that they would move the event online, Jesuit high schools across the country sought to find creative ways to help students honor life at all stages.

WASHINGTON (CNS) The head of the U.S. bishops Committee on Pro-Life Activities called President Joe Biden s stance on abortion religiously and ethically incoherent during his homily at the opening Mass of the annual National Prayer Vigil for Life Jan. 28.
Biden proudly professes to be a devout Catholic even as he promises to codify Roe v. Wade, seeks to force American taxpayers to fund abortions . and desires to force the Little Sisters of the Poor to provide contraceptives and abortifacients in their employee health plans, said Archbishop Joseph F.
