It is forty-six years since the horrible ruling of Roe-v-Wade. Are you ready to join the Corpus Christi Respect Life Committee and the Knights of Columbus Council #9715 on our prayerful pilgrimage to the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C.? This year the march will be held on Friday January 18, 2019.
The schedule is as follows:
There will be a special Mass at 6:15am in the Corpus Christi Chapel, the bus will depart the church parking lot at 7:00AM. Dress warmly and bring a bag lunch, water and snacks. There is a restroom on the bus and we will make one brief restroom stop on I-95. The day involves at least 2 to 3 miles of walking and we stay together and follow our banners. We hope to arrive in time to hear some of the speeches. The March for Life begins at approximately 1PM.
The cost for the trip is $25 per adult. Students go for free, but they must be accompanied by an adult. We hope to return to Corpus Christi by 9PM. We will try to stop at a rest stop for dinner, but pack an extra something for dinner in case that doesn’t work out.
Sign-ups start now. The sign-up board is in the Narthex of the church. Please pay in full to reserve your seat. Make checks payable to Corpus Christi Respect Life and send to Mary Ellen McCabe, 2136 Old Forde Way, Lansdale, PA 19446. (Home #215-368-1422). Checks may be dropped off at the Parish Office in an envelope labeled Respect Life Bus Trip. REMEMBER: Payment for your seat is transferable, but not refundable.

Please join us this year on our prayerful pilgrimage to save our unborn children.
