On Tuesday January 21 a number of parishioners from St. Mary's Parish including the Council's Chaplain Fr. Jay Mello and Grand Knight Charlie Spath traveled more than 13 hours by bus in the middle of a snow storm down to Washington, DC to attend the annual March for Life on Wednesday 1/22. It was wonderful for us to see all the clergy, young children and other members of the Knights of Columbus who traveled great distances in some very tough road conditions to get to Washington DC and show their support for the Pro-Life movement in this country. We know we are not alone.
Here are a few photos of us at the March for Life:

The March is finally underway and Fr. Jay is very happy that it is. Here we go....
The day after the march, Fr. Jay gave the homily at a special Mass at St. Matthew's Cathedral in downtown Washington DC.
He along with Fr. Jason Brilhante and 4 other priests con-celebrated the Mass in honor of the Right to Life at Washington DC's beautiful Cathedral. Fr. Jason (the newest ordained priest in the Fall River Diocese) was the main celebrant. What a thrill for Fr. Jason and the whole congregation in the Cathedral.
We were not alone. Many others from Southern Massachusetts joined us on this pilgrimage to the Nation's Capital for this important March and at the Mass of celebration the following day.
