January 30, 2021Nearly 200 staunch supporters of the pro-life cause were not deterred by 12-degree temperatures Friday as they held an outdoor march for life in Worcester. Brother Thomas Augustine Dalton, MICM, of the Saint Benedict Center helped organize the Right to Life March that went from Elm Park to the Planned Parenthood abortion facility on Pleasant Street.
“The intention ... was to hold a prayerful and peaceful demonstration against Roe v. Wade. The marchers proceeded from Elm Street to Planned Parenthood and back again to the park while praying the rosary, singing hymns, and reciting various litanies,” Brother Thomas reported. "There was plenty of support from those passing by and all was peaceful from beginning to end.”
Prayers, litanies and hymns were led by Father Daniel Becker and Brother Peter Mary Brackett, MICM.
Since it was not possible for people to attend the March in Washington this year, Immaculate Heart of Mary School in Still River organized the Worcester march, according to Steve Rust of Warren.
Students from IHM School, St. Thomas Aquinas School in Warren, and members of the broader Catholic community participated, he said.
