2021 Pilgrimage for Life
The Pilgrimage for Life is currently led by Dr. Joseph Dutkowsky and Dr. Robert A. Graebe and Nancy Graebe. Even though the pandemic restricted the traditional plans of the March for Life and our participation in it in 2021, the American Association was still able to take part in a unique way. A total of 65 members and guests, along with thousands of online viewers, attended the Pilgrimage for Life Mass with the Sisters of Life at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. Watch a recording of this event below.
On January 28, 2021, Dr. Graebe and Nancy Graebe traveled to Washington DC, by invitation of the USCCB, to represent the Order of Malta, American Association at the Vigil Mass for Life at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. The following day, they marched in the “Live” 2021 March for Life as representatives of the Order of Malta, American Association, along with leaders of Pro-Life organizations from across the country.
With hope and enthusiasm, the American Association looks forward to the American Association’s 2022 Pilgrimage for Life January 20-21, 2022 in Washington DC. Come and join us and defend the faith of respecting life in the womb!
