Welcome to the Pro-Life homepage for the Catholic Diocese of Grand Island!In John's Gospel, Jesus said, "I have come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly. (John 10:10) Life is a most precious God-given gift!
Saint Pope John Paul II, in his encyclical, Evangelium Vitae, wrote "The Gospel of Life is at the heart of Jesus' message. "Lovingly received day after day by the Church, it [the gospel life] is to be preached with dauntless fidelity as 'good news' to the people of every age and culture."
The mission of the Pro-Life ministry is to build the culture of life in our families, our parishes and our schools through prayer, education, pastoral care and advocacy.
Together let us become missionaries of the Gospel of Life!
Most Rev. Joseph G. Hanefeldt

2023 March for Life Pilgrimage
-
Why Will We Continue to March?
In order to mark not only our victory in Dobbs but also our need to maintain a presence in Washington, this year’s March for Life will have a slightly different marching route than in years past. This year we will also march past the Capitol and finish between the Capitol and Supreme Court. We will give witness to the inherent dignity of the human person to pro-life and pro-abortion legislators alike, helping them understand that we will not cease advocating for women and children until every life is protected.
Excerpt from March for Life website https://marchforlife.org/national-march-for-life/
'OUR PILGRIMAGE TO THE 2023 MARCH FOR LIFE'
After a 24 hour Bus ride we arrived at our hotel on Wednesday
evening and celebrated mass. On Thursday morning we attended mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception and divided into small groups to
visit sites in Washington DC for the rest of the day. Some of the
spots visited were the Saint John Paul II Shrine, the Holocaust
Museum, Arlington National Cemetary for the changing of the guard and other Smithsonian Museums and monuments.
On Friday we set off to LIFE FEST, put on by the Sisters of Life and the Knights of Columbus, where we attended mass and adoration along with hearing several pro-life speakers. It was then onto the National Mall where we participated in the March for Life with thousands of others!
Following the March, small groups visited DC sites, and then we
had a DC Monuments bus tour with stops at the Korean and Vietnam War Memorials. We ended the day with night prayer at the hotel.
Saturday started off with the celebration of mass prior to our departure for the journey home. We arrived in Nebraska on Sunday morning. Submitted by Eric Heckman YYA Director
