Ann Rangel, a parishioner at St. Lawrence O'Toole in Matteson, walks through rows of crosses representing babies killed by abortion near Governors Highway on Sept. 29. Members of the parish's pro-life committee used donations from parishioners to purchase the crosses, which they set to kick-off Respect Life Month.
