Archbishop Harry Flynn will lead a prayer service Saturday, January 22, followed by a march and assembly on the Capitol steps sponsored by the Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life. 
Come, sing and march and hear our pro-life legislators.  This is truly an inspiring event and is especially good for young people and families to take part in.  Parishioners may come to the east parking lot of St. John's at 9:15am Saturday, January 22, to car pool to St. Odilia's to bus to the Capitol.  We will return at 1:30pm.
