ST. LOUIS ARCHBISHOP LEADS NEARLY 1000 IN MARCH AND PRAYER OUTSIDE ABORTUARY

ST. LOUIS, January 21, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Archbishop Justin Rigali of St. Louis celebrated a pro-life Mass Saturday with over 1,200 in attendance. Following the Mass, the archbishop led the faithful on a prayerful march from the Cathedral Basilica 16 blocks to the Planned Parenthood abortuary.

Archbishop Rigali asked the faithful to join him in praying for elected officials and others to join "the struggle to protect human life" and for God to "change hearts." The pro-lifers commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision also prayed for "the conversion of all those who participate in the abortion industry."
