March for Life

The Walk for Life West Coast held each year in San Francisco is an important opportunity for those in the western U.S. to demonstrate their solidarity with the unborn, according to the city's archbishop.

“The main purpose it serves is for those who can't get back to Washington for the March for Life, that we're still able to gather all of us together...and by virtue of our numbers, bear witness to the strength of the pro-life movement,” Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone told CNA after celebrating a Mass for the pilgrims who had come the Jan. 26 event.

“I know there are walks in a lot of different cities, but I think it's important to have one key event on the east coast, and one one the west coast: it's a long ways to the east coast – sometimes people from back east don't realize that.”
