Montini Students Attend "March for Life"
On Wednesday, January 20, 2010 eighteen Montini students and Dr. Joseph Mordente and Ms. Joanna Spence of the theology department joined Bishop Peter Sartain and 220 others on a 4-day pilgrimage to the Annual March for Life in Washington, DC. Bishop Sartain made it perfectly clear in the very first talk he gave to the group, at the National Shrine of Our Lady, that this pilgrimage is different from a sight-seeing tour. Besides giving witness to what Catholics believe as Christians and exercising the duty to be good citizens, he told the group that a fundamental goal of any pilgrimage is the interior conversion of the pilgrim himself/herself. One affect of this trip should be a closer union with God, a more perfect union of one’s own will with His.
