Pinecrest Academy<\/a>\u00a0in Cumming, Georgia, led a group of high school juniors who spent the week leading up to the March in Washington D.C. exploring the sanctity of life in different facets. Alison Stone, Pinecrest Art Teacher and Chaperone said, “This journey began in the Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel at Pinecrest Academy where the junior class learned the historic and spiritual significance of a pilgrimage as a voyage to historic and sacred sites. It has the purpose of bringing one closer to God and loving one’s neighbor in the process. During this expedition the students learned about the high ideals on which this country was based, namely, our inalienable God given rights of life and liberty. While on this trip they learned about legislation to protect the unborn. They learned the history of our great nation and got to experience it, too.<\/p>\nThey had a walking tour of the White House, Treasury Building, Supreme Court, The Capitol, Library of Congress, the Memorials on the National Mall, the Newseum, Arlington National Cemetery, The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, President John F Kennedy\u2019s Grave, the Holocaust Museum, the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, the Shrine of John Paul II, the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America, the Right To Life Youth Rally, the Mass for Life & the March for Life.” The evening before the March for Life, the students heard from Karen Cross, Political Director of the National Right to Life. Ms. Cross shared her experience of being a teenager confronted with an unplanned pregnancy, who chose abortion, regretted that decision, and has dedicated her life to protecting unborn babies and helping other women to choose life.<\/p>\n
