Vermilion Catholic Fiat class places white crosses in front of St Mary Magdalen Church

Wed, 01/28/2026 - 9:17am

The Vermilion Catholic, a legacy of Mt. Carmel, Fiat class placed these white crosses in front of St Mary Magdalen Church to represent the millions of children who have been victims of abortion for the last 53 years. They stand as a reminder to keep all those affected by this decision in our prayers. This year the National March for Life will take place on January 23rd in Washington D.C. This annual event began when the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe vs Wade decision legalized abortion in all U.S. states.
