Pastor Jordan McGowan of Shiloh Church delivered a beautiful, rousing oratorical masterpiece on the Sanctity of Human Life. Truly inspired.

Terri Greeno, McHenry County Board Member D5, told us about Title X funding and stressed the importance of our votes to keep Title X funding out of McHenry County.
Our featured speaker, Mary Kate Zander was unable to attend as, she being 38 weeks pregnant, was experiencing symptoms leading her to believe that labor was soon approaching.
The rally was concluded with recognizing the Knights of Columbus for their great Prolife work and concluded in prayer. Suzy played more beautiful music and folks lingered with popcorn and bubbles for the kids. What a blessed event this was!
