By Alea Bowling Special to The Criterion

WASHINGTON, D.C.—More than 400,000 pro-life supporters marched in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 24 to prayerfully protest Alea Bowling Photos by Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision which legalized abortion in the United States. On the morning of the march, about 200 youths and adult chaperons from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis were among the group that celebrated Mass in the crypt church of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington. During the Mass, transitional Deacon Dustin Boehm welcomed the pilgrims and thanked them for being there after enduring many hours traveling on buses and “less than comfortable sleeping quarters.” In his homily, he urged the youths to keep Christ’s sacrifice in their minds as they marked the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. “Not even this ongoing holocaust can eclipse what we celebrate right here in this chapel and will continue to celebrate on the march,” said Deacon Boehm, who will be ordained to the priesthood in the archdiocese later this year. Deacon Boehm reminded the archdiocesan pilgrims that Christ has conquered death. Deacon Dustin Boehm “We have every right to be frustrated, but we have an even greater right to celebration. We have every right to despair, but we have an even greater cause for hope,” he said. Before the March for Life, the pilgrims from the archdiocese joined thousands of other pro-life supporters as they listened to Above, Zoe Kidwell, 17, left, several members of the U.S. Congress speak about their commitment and Angela Fowler, 18, to pro-life legislation.
