First-year students from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Newman Center, Nya Hernandez and Therese Armstrong, together with sophomore, Isabela Esquivel, boarded the bus from St. John Paul II High School to join 40 youth, young adults and the SOLT sisters, heading to Austin for the Texas Rally for Life on Jan. 28. They had decided to participate after seeing the diocesan Instagram post about it.
Pilgrims from the Diocese of Corpus Christi marched from Colorado Street to the South Steps of the Texas State Capitol in Austin. They gathered with individuals from dioceses across the state of Texas to listen to pro-Life speakers, Governor Greg Abbott, Claire Culwell, Ryan Bomberger and others who spoke at the rally. They came in solidarity to give witness that Texas respects all life.
To celebrate 100 Days of School on Jan. 28, students from Our Lady of Perpetual Help spent part of the cloudy and cold Saturday morning in service to the community.
