Fr. Looker prays at the 2022 March for Life St. Augustine

This Saturday, January 14, Church of the Messiah will join with Pro-Life activists from throughout the Southeast as we participate in the March for Life St. Augustine.  The annual event in the nation’s oldest city began in 2007 as an alternative to March for Life in Washington, D.C. for those who could not attend the national event.  At the 2022 March, nearly 2,000 people gathered to march in support of Life from as far south as Miami and as far north as Savannah.

This year, members from Church of the Messiah will gather at the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche in St. Augustine (click HERE for a map) at 10 o’clock.  The March itself will begin at 10:30 and will proceed to the Plaza de la Constitución (directly in front of the Cathedral).  The path of the March is approximately one a one-quarter miles long.  When everyone arrives at the Plaza there will be several speakers including Melissa Coles and Dr. Jason Phillips.  This year, Fr. Scott Looker has been asked once again to give the closing prayer at the end of the March.
