Nebraska Walk for Life

Please plan to attend the
Nebraska Walk for Life
Saturday, January 19th
 
If you are able, there is a special pro-life Mass celebrated by Bishop Conley at St. Mary's at 9:00 a.m. beforehand.
Then we will meet on the west side of the State Capitol at 10:00 a.m. for prayer, a few quick speakers, some music, & balloon release before walking in prayerful protest to the Nebraska Student Union.  Remember this is both a statement simply by our being there as well as a chance to offer prayer for our country that we can embrace a culture of LIFE.  Dress warm & be respectful.
Afterwards there is a rally, bakesale, & finally a keynote speaker at 11:45 upstairs in the Union until around 1:00 p.m.  This year's speaker is Carol Tobias, current present of the National Right to Life committee.
 
You can drive on your own though parking is a little tricky, so plan some extra time.  There will also be a bus leaving from St. John's at 9:30 for any interested GodTeens or other parishioners (for the Walk only) to return around noon.  Families are encouraged to attend!
