As stated by Pope John Paul II in the Gospel of Life, "a great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world." With more than 40 percent of all pregnancies in the District of Columbia ending in abortion, an urgent prayer is desperately needed in our nation's capitol. Please join us Saturday, April 2 here at the Cathedral for a Mass and procession as we witness to the dignity of every human life. Fr. Kevin Regan will celebrate Mass at 8am, followed by a prayerful procession to Planned Parenthood located on 16th Street, NW.
