On the evening of Wednesday, January 21, 2008, Metropolitan Jonah will celebrate Vespers at St. Nicholas Cathedral, Washington, DC, at 7:00 PM. The following day, he will take part in the March and will be one of the first religious leaders to give a message at the rally on Capitol Hill. That evening, Metropolitan Jonah will give the invocation at the March for Life’s annual Rose Dinner at the Hyatt Regency Washington.
“The Orthodox Church in America has designated the Sunday before January 22, the annual date for the March for Life, as ‘Sanctity of Life Sunday,’” said OCA Director of Communications, Archpriest Andrew Jarmus. “This year, the Sanctity of Life Sunday will fall on January 18. We will shortly be posting Metropolitan Jonah’s message for the Sanctity of Life Sunday and special petitions to be included in the Divine Liturgy on that day.”
