Ministering on the way to the March for Life

Seminarian Ajani Gibson told the travelers on a 24-hour bus ride to the March for Lufe that they were going on a pilgrimage. “We are going to DC for a purpose - to defend life; to give a voice to the voiceless.” This year’s theme is “Why Believe?” The patron saint of the trip to be used as example is St. Paul, originally a nonbeliever and persecutor of Christian, but became one of the greatest disciples known to man, Ajani said. St. Paul is the perfect model for the March for Life theme, “Why Believe?” He asked that same question before he became a Christian, and became among those who were persecuted. A movie, “Paul, the Apostle of Christ” was shown on his adult life. Ajani also  handed out prayer cards on the bus so pilgrims could pray for unborn babies and one another.

We also have two videos from students making the trip.  Here are brief testimonies from Mignon Antoine, a senior from Mount Carmel Academy, who is president of the school's Pro-Life Club, and Jacob Reeder, a senior at Jesuit High School and president of the CYO at St. Catherine of Siena parish in Metairie.
