Houston, Texas, Oct 27, 2008 / 02:55 am
Catholic Texans will have the opportunity to show their support for life and the dignity of the human person at a Pilgrimage for Life that will be led by Cardinal DiNardo of Houston just before Thanksgiving.
The event, which is being hosted by the Texas Catholic Conference, will take place on Monday, November 24, and will be dedicated to encouraging society to fully embrace the fullness of Church teaching on the life and dignity of the human person, from conception to natural death.
The pilgrimage will begin at 9:00 a.m. with a Mass celebrated by Cardinal DiNardo at St. Thomas Catholic Church in Huntsville. Following Mass, Cardinal DiNardo will lead a one-mile prayerful procession from an abortion referral center to the Texas death row.
“Pilgrims may also choose to stay at the parish for adoration and guided reflection on the Stations of the Cross and Catholic social teaching,” according to the Texas Catholic Conference.
