Since the bishops will be at a legislative prayer breakfast the morning of Wednesday the 19th, it is our hope that they may join us at the Convention Center before Mass and bring some of the legislators with them. It is also our hope that our new Governor, Susanna Martinez, will join us at some point during the day either for the procession or the rally.

Personal Note and other information • This is by far and away the largest pro-life event in New Mexico each year. We encourage you to take a personal day from work and bring the family! THIS IS A FAMILY EVENT! We also encourage you to take your children out of school for the day. Many schools (primarily Catholic) may give an excused absence to attend the event. Again check with your church, school, or parish about availability of buses.
