Why the price increase?
In years past, very generous donations were given to the pilgrimage, but are not availible for the upcoming 2019 trip.  Those donations assisted leadership funding and offset the cost for all participants.  Because those donations are no longer available, the actual price for the pilgrimage is reflected in the new registration fee.

Is Bishop going to be traveling with us again this year?

He will be!!
 

How many buses will be taken to the 2019 March for Life pilgrimage?
Ultimately, the number of buses will depend on the number of registrants--but our max will be a 3 bus convoy. 
 

I'm 18, but still in high school, do I need to be safe environment trained?

If you will be 18 years old before we leave , yup. 

What will the money collected through the second collection on October 7, 2018 be used for?
The upcoming second collection will be used to defray the cost of the pilgrimage for leadership fees and can ideally be established as a reliable annual donation that can be depended on to once again steady the registration fee.

($850.00 per participant)

This life-changing educational pilgrimage takes participants from Louisiana to historical monuments and from the Holocaust Museum to sacred liturgy in the National Basilica.  The pilgrimage is designed to be a seminarian lead retreat that focuses on respecting the life of our unborn neighbor in the womb while considering the dignity, value, and calling of one’s own life. The youth participating in the pilgrimage will join hundreds of thousands of others from across America who wants to take a stand for life at the

annual National March for Life.
