For our January 2014 Carolina Catholic show, and as the nation begins its 41st year of abortion-on-demand, we will shine a lamp on those people in the pro-life movement who have inspired so many others to fight to save the lives of the over 55 million unborn babies lost to abortion since 1973. These "unsung" heroes of the pro-life movement worked quietly and consistently over the 40 years since Roe v. Wade in many ways including these: helping women in crisis pregnancies; representing pro-lifers in court when arrested for standing up for life; standing and praying outside of abortion clinics; and as priests, praying without cease for an end to legalized abortion in America.Richard Collier

Following the Rally, the youth are encouraged to participate in the March for Life at Nash Square at 1:00 pm.  The Love My Life Rally will feature dynamic speakers, music, and great free food, and will draw our youth to live out a culture of loving, protecting and celebrating all human life! As Catholics, we are all called to live life abundantly, and this event will inspire our youth to join with hundreds from our Diocese in witnessing to others God’s special gift of human life.
