March For Life

Planning the March for Life 2023 has begun!  The March for Life Pilgrimage to DC is set for the week of January 16th-22nd.

WHAT? St. Michael High School has directed this Pilgrimage to Washington DC for 12 years. After two years of waiting, we are excited to make the Pilgrimage in a Post Roe America. This is a peaceful and joyful gatherin of the Pro-Life Generation! Student visit religious sites and travel with priest, religious sisters and semenarians.
