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.
