Each January on a day around anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Holy Redeemer School Eighth Grade students are offered the opportunity to participate in the March for Life in Washington, D.C. As taken from the March for Life website, www.marchforlife.org, "the March for Life in Washington, D.C., began as a small demonstration and rapidly grew to be the largest pro-life event in the world. The peaceful demonstration that has followed on this somber anniversary every year since 1973 is a witness to the truth concerning the greatest human rights violation of our time, legalized abortion on demand."
