Bishop Bonnar celebrated a Mass for Life on January 14, at St. Columba Cathedral. At the Mass, expectant mothers, fathers and their families were invited to receive a blessing for their preborn babies. The “Blessing of a Child in the Womb” was created to encourage prayer and recognition of the precious gift of the child in the womb, and to foster respect for human life within society.
In addition, there was a “Blessing of Pilgrims” who attend the National March for Life which took place on Friday, January 19, in Washington, D.C. A reception followed the Mass, featuring displays of information on respect for life and Walking with Moms in Need.
