Our Lady of Fatima Leading the Faithful.

Dear Friend,

On a breathtakingly beautiful day, about 2,500 pro-lifers of all ages took part in the Diocese of San Diego’s 13th Annual Walk for Life. This year Catholic Action for Faith and Family participated with many members and supporters by processing with its replica statue of the International Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Fatima. Many other faithful gathered around the statue to recite the rosary and sing Marian hymns as they processed. The statue could be seen elevated above the crowd in the ornate carrier positioned on the shoulders of four Knights of Columbus members.

The walk even caught the attention of the local newspaper, the San Diego Union-Tribune who published an article with photos. While speaking on the stage at Waterfront Park in downtown San Diego, Cardinal Robert McElroy who led the march wanted those gathered to remember one thing. “It is the will of God that all of us recognize the sacredness of the human person and particularly the sacredness of unborn children, because in our national debates, that is being eclipsed and obscured and cast aside”.

Walking beside so many mothers with their children, something that St. Gianna Molla once said came to mind. “Look at the mothers who truly love their children — how many sacrifices they make for them. They are ready for everything, even to give their own blood so that their babies grow up good, healthy and strong.” It gives me hope to see both fathers and mothers teaching their children about the sanctity of life. This will bring about a new generation of committed young leaders that will be prepared to keep the fight for life going. 

Many felt the presence of Our Lady as the pilgrim statue was carried throughout the walk. 

What You Can Do to Support the Pro-Life Movement

Learn what you can do to help women in crisis pregnancies, single mothers who are young and vulnerable, as well as those who struggle with psychological trauma after aborting their babies or being sexually abused. Pray to the Blessed Mother for discernment and guidance. 

Every one of us is needed to halt the slaughter of the unborn. Are you ready to do your part to stop abortion? Commit to never be silent, passive or to forget about the unborn. 

Let us ask Our Blessed Mother to come to the aid of mothers in crisis pregnancies, that they never be pressured to have an abortion.

Embracing the sacredness of life,
