The organizers of the Colorado March for Life have selected the students from Chesterton Academy of Our Lady of Victory to carry the March for Life banner at the head of the March this year!
Please see the logistics below for the March for Life. Also, please respond to Mrs. Grant to the questions at the bottom by Friday, April 4th.
Students to be dropped off at St. Mark Catholic Church rather than the school in order to begin our day attending Mass at 8:00 am (this is an hour earlier than last year in order to avoid being late to the rally)
OLV will have two busses waiting for us at St. Mark and we will begin boarding at 9:00 am with a goal of arriving at the Capitol by 10:00 am
Rally begins at 11:00 am and March begins at 12:00 pm
We will re-board our busses after the March and should be back to St. Mark by 2:00 pm. Parents should pick up their students at St. Mark at that time
Similar to last year, students should pack a sack lunch to eat on the bus either on the way down or way back. Water is encouraged but there will be no access to bathrooms so everyone should plan accordingly.
One last thought...last year we passed an envelope around the busses for driver tips. Our drivers were wonderful last year and very supportive of the cause. Please bring a couple of dollars for this purpose.
Action items for parents:
Please let Mrs. Grant know ASAP if your student will not be in attendance. If parents wish to join and ride on the busses, please also let Mrs. Grant know by Friday. Other family members are welcome to join OLV, but cannot ride on the busses as we are sharing space with St. Mark parishioners.
Mrs. Grant needs an approximate number of Mass attendees to ensure that St. Mark has enough hosts. Please let Mrs. Grant know
If your student will not be attending OR
How many of your family members are expected to attend Mass.
