Memorial Service for the Unborn

Father Bryan Eyman and some of our parishioners participated in the event. A few of the pictures above show Marcus Loidolt, Grand Knight of our parish’s Knights of Columbus James O’Brian Council 13850, in a blue sweater.
Keynote Speaker, Fr. Josiah Trenham, a pastor of St. Andrew Orthodox Church in Riverside, CA since 1998, invigorated the crowd with many very recent, positive developments on the Pro-Life front. His presentation on Facebook (turn your volume up. Look for Fr. Bryan in the lower right of the screen on the aisle of the last section of seats.)
The Crusaders For Life, a youth led grassroots movement of pro-lifers from Chicago and beyond, led the march and glorious chanting. The march started from the Indiana War Memorial, went south down Meridian Street, around the circle, back north and concluding on the War Memorial steps. Along the march there were many cars waving and honking horns in agreement to the Pro-Life message. Even employees of local businesses stepped out of their buildings into the unseasonably nice weather and cheered the marchers on.
Glory to God. May our Creator’s will be done.
