Diocese hosts ‘Gathering for Life’ in lieu of D.C. March

From The Superior Catholic Herald...

A diocesan “Gathering for Life” will take place Saturday, Jan. 22, at St. Joseph Church in Rice Lake from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is a public event and open to all ages.

In December, the Office of Evangelization and Missionary Discipleship announced they would not be able to participate in the Washington, D.C., March for Life. Later in December, there was question of whether or not the March, which was cancelled for 2021 due to COVID-19, would face the same fate this year.

The event will open at 10 a.m. with Mass celebrated by Bishop James Powers. Following at 11 a.m., Dcn. Tim Mika will speak on the topic, “Why is the Church pro-life?”

Dcn. Mika was ordained to the permanent diaconate in 2020. He and his wife Becky live with their five children on a farm near Ashland.
A break for lunch – at local establishments or personal sack lunch – will take place from noon to 1 p.m.
