Last year, I had the great joy to be able to attend the March for Life in Washington DC, with busloads of other devout Catholics. Now this is a very expensive journey, so not all can make it, which is why I am sharing this page with you.
By sending a candle and your intentions with the Pilgrims, you will be able to participate.

Bring a Candle, Be a Beacon!

Dear Friends,
For the fourth year in a row, the priests of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest will be leading a group of courageous pilgrims to the March for Life in Washington D.C. this January, 2020. We have a tremendous opportunity this year to fill two buses of young pilgrims from the Institute's parishes. Young people from all over the Midwest will march and pray together.
More than just a March, the Institute leads our trip in the spirit of a true pilgrimage, offering our young adults opportunities to pray, to make sacrifices, and to learn about the mystery of the unborn through masses, rosaries, conferences etc.
As we witness an up-rise of the power of darkness against the most precious and more vulnerable gift man could ever receive, life itself, it has become obvious that the defense of life is urgent! Now more than ever, we realize how important it is for us to be present at our nation’s capital.
These young people want to make a stand for Life — for all Life, from its earliest beginnings to its natural end — and we need your help so they can shine their light into this spiritual darkness!
To make this important pilgrimage financially manageable for our young “marcher”, we rely heavily on your donations to help offset the travel and hotel costs. Each chartered bus costs nearly $10,000, so no donation is too big or too small to help with this effort.
For this reason we are asking you to become a beacon and support our pilgrims by purchasing a Candle-For-Life.
For each donation of $25 and above our pilgrims will carry your intentions (comment section), along with a lighted candle, on the day of the March.
(When choosing "Hide my name & comment ...", only Institute priests/chaplains for March will see them)
We realize that not everyone is able to be physically present at the March, but in this way you can support those who can make the Pilgrimage, and through prayer and sacrifice you will be linked to them spiritually.
Additionally, you can join our Candle-For-Life Movement by lighting a novena candle in your home, before the image of Our Lady, 8 days prior to the March-for-life held on January 24th.
Please remember to include your prayer intentions along with your donation, and our pilgrims will pray for you along the way. We will stop en route at Most Precious Blood Church , recently entrusted to the Institute by the diocese of Pittsburgh, and at Saint Mary Mother of God Church in D.C. where holy Mass will be offered for all our benefactors.
Help us shine a light into this spiritual darkness.
Bring a candle, be a Beacon!

Please leave your swords and bows at the door, then come in and talk. All are welcome, except of course for the servants of Sauron. They will be asked to leave under pain of death.
