Rosary for Life at the Rhode Island State House

Local Rhode Islanders will gather at the Rhode Island State House for the fifteenth annual Rosary for Life on Thursday, March 22, at 3:00 PM. The event is sponsored by Servants of Christ for Life, a Providence-based pro-life organization that was formed in 1973.

Several local pro-life advocates will give brief remarks about their personal stories and our culture's obligation to defend human life at all stages. Priests from the Diocese of Providence will also lead the attendees in the Rosary. Some of the speakers for the event include:

Christina Frye: Founder of Catholic Mom Rhode Island and co-founder of The Salgi Esophageal Cancer Research Foundation.
While pregnant, Christina was told her baby had an elevated risk of Down syndrome. Abortion was offered to her an an option by her doctors.

Sonia Morales: Runs a pro-life online community that was inspired when her daughter Angela was diagnosed in-utero with a condition that was said to be “incompatible with life.” Angela proved the doctors wrong. This community has over 20K followers where she raises awareness about brain malformations, shares her powerful witness to life, and gives support to families with children who have disabilities.

Tyler Rowley is the president of Servants of Christ for Life and one of the event organizers: "Abortion is a human rights violation because it denies a certain group of people their unalienable right to life. Every Tuesday and Friday Planned Parenthood in Providence kills fifty children up to five months old in the womb, and roughly 4,000 children are killed in the womb every year in Rhode Island. There are no words to accurately describe that barbarism and abuse of the human person. The members of the Rhode Island General Assembly can save these children's lives; we ask them to defend these children or we ask every Rhode Islander to elect only those officials who will defend them."

The event is free and open to the public.


Servants of Christ for Life was formed in 1973 to save unborn children from the human rights violation of abortion. We pray for, defend, save, and die with unborn children by joining them in their sufferings on the sidewalk. In 1984 we formed two partner organizations: 1) Mother of Life Center and 2) Little Flower Home. MLC is a crisis pregnancy center that offers free ultrasounds, pregnancy tests, parenting classes, and baby products to mothers in crisis pregnancies. LFH offers free housing to mothers in crisis pregnancies.
