The Chicago March for Life took place on Jan. 19. Participants gathered for a rally at Federal Plaza in downtown Chicago before marching to the State of Illinois Building for another rally. Speakers included Greek Orthodox Bishop Demetrios of Mokissos, Rev. Cesar LeFlore, founder of Chicago's African- American PowerLight Ministries and Congressmen Dan Lipinski and Peter Roskam. Also included are photos from the national event.
Cardinal George was the main celebrant at a Mass for Life at St. Mary of the Angels Parish, 1850 N. Hermitage Ave. The cardinal gave a special blessing to those who would be attending the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., Jan. 22. This year marks the 41st anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion.
