For the 9th year, Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic High School students participated in the March for Life in Washington D.C. on Monday, January 23rd.  53 students eagerly set out from the long journey on the previous Saturday morning.  Br. Marty Singer along with other teachers and staff members from the school chaperoned and supported the youths efforts in supporting the right to life of all human beings.  Six buses were used to transport the youngsters along with all the necessary provisions.  On Sunday the students participated in the Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral followed by a tour of the various attractions in Washington D.C.  On the morning of the march, the students spiritually readied themselves by participating in a special Mass presided by Donald Cardinal Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington.  As over 400,000 people walked the streets toward the nation’s capitol, Br. Marty could not help but be inspired by the number of youths who participated in the massive demonstration in support of the rights of the unborn.  He said, “It is amazing how this has become a truly Catholic youth movement!”
