On Jan. 24, Catholics and people of good will from around the nation will come to Washington participate in the March for Life, which this year marks the 47th solemn anniversary of the legalization of abortion in the United States. This day of penance and prayer for the legal protection of unborn children is the largest annual human-rights demonstration in the world. By marching through the streets and reminding our elected officials that all life is sacred and should be protected, we live out our Gospel mandate to radiate the Light of Christ in the midst of darkness. We carry His light forward when we fast, pray, and march with peace and great purpose.

As we celebrate National Catholic Schools Week, I am reminded of
my Catholic education and the formation my dear parents and Catholic educators
provided by their example and sacrifices. I will be forever grateful to them!
In that regard, I also extend my heartfelt and sincere appreciation to the
parents of our students. You too are setting the stage for your children to be
formed in our holy Catholic Faith and to live the Gospel as Christ commanded.
