History of the March

Each year on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, hundreds of thousands of pro-life advocates from across the United States gather in Washington D.C., marching through the nation's capital at the annual March for Life.

To promote the pro-life message, Saint Francis University holds its own March on the Mountain annually for those who cannot attend the national rally. Saint Francis students, faculty, staff, and members of the local community gather on the campus mall to proclaim the sanctity of all human life, uniting their prayers with those of the hundreds of thousands of other pro-life advocates from across the United States.
