Mark your calendars now to join parishioners and friends from around the archdiocese for a Mass and Procession for an end to abortion on Saturday, September 18. Fr. William Byrne, Secretary of Pastoral Ministry and Social Concerns for the Archdiocese, will celebrate the 8am Mass here at St. Matthew’s, then lead us in a prayerful procession to the Planned Parenthood facility on 16th Street, NW.

If you have questions, please call the Department of Life Issues at 301- 853-4555 or email mcarper@adw.org.

Archdiocesan pro-life Masses at the Cathedral also are planned for the following Saturdays in 2011: January 8, April 2, and July 16. Join in this worship and witness to Life!
