Thousands of pro-life marchers converge on our nation's Capitol. (Bob Slingo)

East Northport - Thousands and thousands of supporters of life on buses from all over our nation (and Canada too) converged on our nation's Capitol last Friday to support life and see a sitting president (President Donald J. Trump) address the record crowd live and in person! This year's theme was "Life Empower: Pro-life is Pro-Woman."

In my many years attending the March for Life I've never seen so many people turn out ... particularly young people!

St. Anthony's bus included over 50 parishioners, Knights of Columbus and Sisters from St. Joseph's Adult Home in Greenlawn (see photos). The trip was planned and organized by Marianne Wright who as usual made sure everyone got there and back home safely on the bus ... and had plenty of snacks & drinks!
