Columbus Day: The Case for Its Celebration
The annual March for Life is a mere two weeks away. Some have solid plans to go. Then, there are others who are scrambling to figure out their itienrary either the day of, before, during, or after the largest event.
Many will go down for the day with their parish or high school, or college group. Meanwhile, some are planning to make a long weekend out of it. Regardless, it is a time to walk in solidarity with moms and their children, born and unborn.
