March for Life— January 23

Email from Mike K:

Brothers,

I am unable to attend the March for Life this year, however, I’m hoping some of you can pick up the slack.  Darius Y is our bus captain again this year and Matt H is going to help him with boarding at St. Bridget. Hope you can go, it is very encouraging to see so many people witnessing to the sanctity of life in our Nation’s Capital and we can certainly use a dose of encouragement after what our Virginia General Assembly rushed through this week.

I have copied Darius above (djyazdgerdi@gmail.com); so people can contact him to reserve seats. Departures are currently scheduled for:

St. Edward’s 7:45 am

St. Bridget access road 8:15 am

Columbian Center 8:45ish

I don’t know how many seats still available, again, people should contact Darius to reserve seats.

Fraternally,

Mike K.
