Second Sunday in Ordinary Time January 16, 2022 Page 7 The 49th Annual March for Life, including the rally and pre-rally concert, will go on as planned! The March for Life is an inspiring, peaceful, vibrant, and joy-filled rally of women, men, young people, and children from all across the country. Every year, tens of thousands of pro-lifers converge on the National Mall and march on Capitol Hill on the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling which legalized abortion in all 50 states. It’s the largest annual human rights demonstration in the world. But this is not just a protest… TOGETHER, WE GATHER TO CELEBRATE LIFE. We celebrate each and every life, from the moment of conception. We envision a world where every life is celebrated, valued, and protected. Thursday, January 20, 2022 Capitol Hill 101: 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Capitol Hill 101 is a FREE seminar, giving participants the opportunity to learn how to make their voices heard by their elected representatives. Hear from the top lobbyists in the pro-life movement how to effectively navigate the legislative system, from Capitol Hill to Town Hall. Friday, January 21, 2022 Pre-Rally Concert: 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. March for Life Rally: 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. Join us in Washington, DC for the March for Life Rally. This FREE event features a live concert and inspiring speeches from pro-life leaders – sharing how to stay involved in the pro-life movement all year long. The Rally will begin at 12 pm ET on the National Mall. You can also watch the live-streamed event on our website, Facebook, and YouTube channel. March for Life: 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. This is the main event! The March for Life will begin immediately following the Rally – usually around 1 p.m. – starting between 12th and 14th Streets. We will march peacefully up Constitution Ave. to the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. After marching, consider attending the Silent No More testimonies outside the Supreme Court, visiting your Representative to advocate for life, or proceeding past the Supreme Court to help the flow of oncoming marchers. Rose Dinner Gala: 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. An evening of inspiration and fellowship, the Rose Dinner is the perfect way to conclude your March for Life experience in our Nation’s Capital.

We launched our parish service project on the 1st Sunday of Ad- vent. As we are ending the Christmas Season and quickly approaching the Season of Lent, we must continue to be vigilant in completing the task. Our goal remains to secure 100—150 volunteers to pack at least 35,000 meals at a cost of $13,150 to be delivered to Haiti or Puerto Rico. Sometimes it is difficult to follow up on our good intentions be- cause of our busy lives. During the past few months, we have faced many challenges but we have also received many bless- ings. Let’s continue to share our blessings with the world. Make a commitment of your time, talent and treasure today. To sign up as a volunteer, contact: Nicky Wilkinson at 202-253- 6733 or Cheryl Holley at 202-491-5779 or send an email to olphglobal- meals@gmail.com. Volunteer Forms are in the church and someone will be there to assist you after each Mass every weekend or the forms can be found on the church website. To make a donation, contact Dawnielle Battle at 202-256-2567 or use a donation en- velope in the back of the church and drop it in the offertory collection. Also, you can mail a check made payable to: OLPH Church and write on the memo line of the check “Global Meals”.
