I am very happy to announce that National March for Life and Georgia Life Alliance (the National Right to Life state affiliate) are hosting the Georgia March for Life on Thursday, February 22. The Archdiocese of Atlanta will be participating in this event. Bishop Bernard Shlesinger, III will be present to give an invocation/prayer. See postcard, flyers (1 & 2) and other promotional materials here and here.
I am encouraging parishes to organize buses for the GA March for Life. For an event like this, people are hesitant to go alone but they would go in a group, especially if they do not have to worry about parking downtown. RSVP here, though not required.
Note: the Mass for the Preborn with Bishop John Nhàn Trần was Saturday, January 20, (see homily). These two events are complementary; together they stress the importance of both prayer and public witness.
