Amarillo—Bishop Patrick J. Zurek will preside at the annual Respect Life Mass Saturday, Jan. 23 at 10:00am at St. Mary’s Cathedral, 1200 South Washington.

The Mass will be livestreamed on the St. Mary’s Cathedral website, stmarysamarillo.com, with the stream beginning just before 10:00am. All COVID protocols will be adhered to inside St. Mary’s Cathedral during the Mass.

Following Mass, the Walk for Life will begin with prayer and a procession to 15th and Taylor, where the Rosary for Life, Marriage and Family will be prayed at Sanborn Park.

The theme of this year’s Mass and Walk is Live the Gospel of Life, To Imitate Christ and Follow in His Footsteps, according to diocesan Family Life Director James Schulte.

“Since the Supreme Court legalized abortion under the Roe vs. Wade and Doe vs. Bolton decisions, millions of innocent children have been killed and millions of women and families have been wounded by abortion,” he said. “We want everyone to attend Mass and the Walk to pray and show that we will not forget every person that has been hurt by abortion.”

Bishop Patrick J. Zurek is requesting that no activities on the parish or diocesan level are to be scheduled Saturday, Jan. 23, until after 1:00pm, so that everyone can attend the annual Respect Life Mass and participate in the Walk for Life.
