NOTE: Images from the March will be added below throughout the day on Friday, Jan. 24.
Brenedictine College students (and Gregorian Fellows) were in the news as more than 15% of Benedictine College’s student body traveled to the March for Life in Washington, D.C. This year is the 40th year in a row the college has joined the March.
Mary Margaret Olohan at the Daily Caller reported: “College students throughout the United States will take bus trips up to 24 hours long as they head to the nation’s capital” — a reference to the long trip from Atchison, Kansas.
She quoted Ian Reilly, a Gregorian Fellow and Benedictine College Sophomore architecture major: “Abortion is an evil that claims millions of lives and disregards human dignity on many levels. It will always exist in our country unless young Americans, both men and women, speak out against it.” Reilly is the son of Cardinal Newman Society president Patrick Reilly.
Below are pictures of Benedictine College at the March for Life, which will be updated throughout the day of the March.
