BLOOMINGTON - A group
of local high school students are taking a journey of faith to Washington D.C.
Forty five students
from Central Catholic High School hopped on a bus to participate in the March for
Life. It's an annual pro-life rally that attracts nearly 100,000 students and
adults. Friday, the students will march in the heart of Washington D.C. Senior
student Adam Kuebler says it's a display of their strong belief.
"Walking out that
door and seeing the bus, I was like this is happening. I've been really excited
all day and I think this experience will be good for me in the long run,
because we'll be able to demonstrate our faith," he said.
"When you see your
peers and you see peers from other states, all over the country showing up and
seeing how active they are and strengthening their faith, then it strengthens
their faith also," said school chaplain, Fr. Peter Pilon.
The march marks the
anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade. The students return Saturday morning.
