Catholic Schools Week kicked off at St. Anthony School in Hawthorne Jan. 29 with both students and parents joining hands to help others as the school community celebrated the theme, “Be the Hands of Jesus.”

Continuing a tradition that is more than four decades strong, the 44th annual March for Life in the nation’s capital was held Jan. 27 with its one clear and strong message — that the lives of the unborn are sacred and need to be protected in the womb.

This year’s March for Life on Jan. 27 was re-energized like never before, thanks to the largest crowd in recent history, tabbed at more than 500,00 people, and in part, to our nation’s new administration. That support led to more national coverage than ever before by the secular media, which has always turned its collective backs on the March as if it had never happened over the last 44 years.
