This year is a historic moment for our country. This January, we gathered on the national mall in Washington, DC to March for Life for the first time in a post-Roe America.

I thank you, our benefactors, who share in our zeal to win souls for Christ, for your support and partnership in our Dominican mission of preaching for the salvation of souls.
