2025 March For Life Announcement & Details

Circular #24.111

Dear Brother Priests, Deacons, Subdeacons, Consecrated Men and Women, and Lay Faithful:

We invite you to gather with fellow Maronites from across the United States to march for the unborn, and to witness the sanctity and dignity of human life from the womb to the tomb. The 2025 March for Life will take place on Friday, January 24th in Washington, DC.

To encourage more of our people to attend we have reserved a block of rooms at a discounted rate at the Yours Truly Hotel in Washington, DC. Please see the information below. More details and a schedule for the weekend have been attached to this email along with a sign-up sheet if you're interested in attending with our Maronite group.

I hope you can share this information in the coming weeks so that a good number of our youth, young adults, children, and families can join us as we march together as "Maronites for Life".

Hotel Details:

Rooms are $129 a night plus tax. Each individual guest must make his or her own reservation by calling 877-269-5199 and telling them they are with the MYA March for Life or by clicking here.

Please note: The booking link price you see online will show the $26 destination fee included in the rate. Please rest assured that the charge will not show on your final bill. Rooms need to be booked by December 24, 2024. The blocked room rates could potentially be available past this date if they are able to provide some (this will be determined case by case). Each person booking a room is responsible for their own room fees and is responsible for cancelling if necessary, within the hotel's allowable time period to avoid charges.

Please let us know you will be attending by filling out this Google Form, we will contact everyone attending a week or so before the March with any updates. Contact information can be found below for any additional questions.

Thank you for your support, especially for the unborn.
