Fr. Frank Pavone will preach at the interdenominational prayer service and we will honor key leaders of the Pregnancy Center movement. The pregnancy centers are such a key aspect of the pro-life movement, and the way in which so many of you are involved in saving the unborn and helping their families. Please spread the word to your own local centers to come to the prayer service in solidarity with centers across the land! Mike Donehey of the popular Christian music band Tenth Avenue North will be the musical guest. Admission is free.

Each year, the Cardinal O’Connor Conference on Life strives to promote intellectually rigorous discourse on the sanctity of human life as well as build a culture of life both within and beyond the Georgetown community. Georgetown students founded the Conference in 2000 and remain both the organizers and facilitators of what has become the largest student-run, pro-life Conference in the United States. Rooted in the Catholic tradition, the Conference is named in the honor of His Eminence John Cardinal O’Connor, who principally committed himself to advocate for the defenseless and eloquently defend pro-life positions.
We aim to encourage discussion among men and women of all faiths and backgrounds, including students, professionals, academics, and clergy. Participants will leave the Conference equipped with the necessary arguments and information to engage their local communities and foster a culture of life.
