Capuchin friar Father John Pavlik was the main celebrant of the Pro-Life Mass in the crypt church of the Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC. The Mass preceded the massive demonstration for Life in downtown Washington later in the day.

Friars marched with the throngs of people from all around the USA. Postulant Michael Meza and friar Father Thomas Betz walk side by side in the photo at far left.
