Thank you to everyone who made our 2007 DC March for Life trip a huge success.
We learned about Hope,
Healing, Faith, Friendship, Science, History, Big Places, Smiling Faces
and Amazing Graces.
A contingent of youth from the Diocese of Ogdensburg shown in front of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception recently traveled to Washington, DC, to participate in the annual March for Life.
