On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court legalized abortion throughout the United States in its companion decisions Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Since that time, millions of children have lost their lives, and millions of women and families have been wounded by abortion. On June 24, 2022, the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision overturned Roe v. Wade, and we praise God for the great opportunity state and federal legislators now have to protect pre-born children. While this decision ended the nearly fifty-year nationwide regime of abortion on demand, now state and federal laws, in many instances, are still hostile to pre-born children. In all dioceses of the United States, January 22 (or January 23, when January 22 falls on a Sunday) is to be observed as a particular day of prayer for the full restoration of the legal guarantee of the right to life and of penance for violations to the dignity of the human person committed through acts of abortion. A time of Eucharistic Adoration will be offered on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, at the Cathedral of Saint Patrick (212 State St., Harrisburg). This is an opportunity to pray for an end to abortion and for the dignity and sanctity of human life. The schedule is:12:00 pm – Holy Mass with Exposition 12:30-5:30 pm – Eucharistic Adoration 5:30 pm – Benediction All are invited to spend time with Jesus Christ in Eucharistic Adoration. Please consider signing up for one-hour (or more) at: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4BADAC29A2FECF8-53120974-eucharistic For questions or to sign up via email, please contact Marianne Weltmer at mweltmer@hbgdiocese.org or 717-657-4804, ext. 322. Thank you.
