Basilica Parishioners Attend 2023 March for Life in Richmond

Led by Father Edward Hathaway, the Rector of the Basilica, and Father Joseph Townsend, a Parochial Vicar, a contingent of Basilica parishioners traveled by bus to the State Capitol in Richmond to participate in the Virginia March for Life. Eight-grade students from The Basilica School of Saint Mary also attended, led by Father Peter Clem. After several parishioners lobbied legislators, the group listened to several short speeches and prayers by pro-life leaders, including Bishop Michael Burbidge. Then, thousands of pro-life advocates marched for life through the streets of Richmond, holding signs, praying and witnessing in public that the dignity of a human person, from birth till death, matters.
