at Denver
march
PICTURE THIS: Some 5,000 pro-life advocates fl ocking to the
state Capitol downtown to give testament to the dignity of life.
Photographers captured the historic event Jan. 17 when
Catholics and other Christians collaborated to spread the
message of life during the annual March for Life Colorado.
Events began with Mass celebrated by Archbishop Samuel
Aquila, left, with an overfl owing crowd at the Cathedral Basilica
of the Immaculate Conception. The march that followed featured
a rousing rally led by area Christian leaders, including Chris
Stefanick, center, and a joyous march around Civic Center Park.
Participants prayed, sang and rallied in remembrance of the 1973
Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in the U.S., and
witnessed to the beauty in every person.
