March For Life
Here are some of the pictures taken at our pro life "March for Life" in Defiance. It was estimated there were 400-500 people there supporting life and praying to end the killing of babies within the womb. Rick Small did a great job of announcing each speaker. Deacon Jeff Mayer started with a prayer/talk at the Courthouse, then Ann Barrick spoke. We then went to the Eagles parking lot where Pastor Lurhing from St John Lutheran Church spoke, then Ellen Upp.  We then end at the "Monument to the Unborn" at St John Catholic Church with Kelly Shininger talking, then the song "He's got the whole world in His Hands," led by Jim Zipfel.  The march ended with a talk/prayer by Fr Dan Borgelt. We had the Mass and Our Lord was exposed until 6pm ending with Benediction. We pray babies' lives were saved and will be saved through our prayers and sacrifices.
