Our Holy Hour on the evening before the pro-life march in Cheyenne has typically been led by the bishop. Since we are currently without a bishop I had the privilege of leading this year's time of adoration. Being in the presence of our Lord is always time well spent.
Saturday morning began with Mass at the Cathedral of St. Mary, complimentary breakfast in Hartmann Hall, and then it was down to the Historic Depot to prepare for the march to the capitol. (We stopped short of the capitol this year due to construction and finished in the street between the capitol and the state supreme court building.)
Over 400 people endured the cold and wind to participate in the march for life.
Dr. Alveda King spoke briefly to the crowd at the end of the march.
I offered the closing prayer immediately after Dr. King finished her statements. It was cold and windy enough that I didn't bother to adjust the microphone to the right height. Can I get an "Amen" to brevity when we are enduring the cold and wind?
Dr. Alveda King was the keynote speaker at the evening banquet.
Having a photographer sitting at your table means you get your picture taken. He told Margaret and I to act as if we actually like each other. (I think we pulled it off.)
My thanks to Matthew Potter for all of the photographs above. My thanks to Laramie County Right to Life for all the work that goes into this march and banquet each year. My thanks to the clergy and staff at the Cathedral of St. Mary for assisting in the organization of the Holy Hour and Eucharistic Liturgy on this weekend each year. My thanks to the ladies of the Cathedral Guild who graciously prepare breakfast for us each year. My thanks to the Knights of Columbus for leading the march and providing lunch after the march. Thanks to all who marched. We are making a difference because each of you choose to get involved. Thank you for your support of life from conception through natural death.
