Why the Indianapolis March for Life?

Following the Dobbs Supreme Court decision, our diocese will focus our efforts on state-level advocacy and engagement in order to celebrate and support pro-life legislation within our state and to encourage more resources and local initiatives to support unborn children and mothers in need. Through prayer, pilgrimage, formation, and advocacy, we will offer avenues for our students and young adults to learn more about and become more involved in efforts to build a culture of life within our communities, state, and country.

How to request to be in a small group with specific pilgrims

After registration, participants may request to be grouped together in a small group with other students, chaperones, or siblings. If you are attending with a high school, small group assignments may be handled by your MFL coordinator at your school (this varies by school and year.) The only other way to request to be grouped with other pilgrims is to submit this Small Group Request Form (click to open). These are the only two ways to request to be grouped together in a small group with other specific pilgrims.
