Upon arrival on Friday, Fr. Aidan Logan, Vocations Director for the Archdiocese of Military Services greeted us at the Army Navy Club for breakfast in preparation for the March.

We then traveled to the National Mall where we joined our Deputy Supreme Knight Patrick E. Kelly to listen to the scheduled speakers. This year Ben Shapiro, Editor-In-Chief of The Daily Wire, Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood Director, Dr. Alveda King, Priests for Life, Vice President Mike Pence, our Supreme Knight, Carl A. Anderson, along with final remarks from President of March for Life Jeanne Mancini.

From the photos you can get an idea of the amount of youth that attended the March which was very moving to all of us.

Friday evening and Saturday were left for sightseeing in and around our nation’s capital. We then went to St. John Paul II National Shrine on Saturday afternoon touring the many exhibits and stories outlining His Life.

At the conclusion of the tour we attended Mass at the Redemptor Hominus Church which is within the Shrine.

We were so very blessed to have Fr. Paul Ballien from the Archdiocese of Detroit con-celebrate Holy Mass with Fr. Aidan Logan, truly a memorable Mass.
