Three pro-life events will take place on Sunday in St. Joseph. 

The local Knights of Columbus started a life walk in 2013 in an effort to unite pro-life supporters in the community across all denominations. The Life Day Coalition now includes the St. Joseph Pregnancy Resource Center, the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City and St. Joseph, The Catholic Newman Center and more.

St. Joseph Pregnancy Resource Center Executive Director Libby Owens said they will hold their 4th year of Life Day events on Sunday.

“It’s a day just to stop our regular routine and value life and show the community that we in St. Joseph value life,” Owens said. “All ages and stages of life are important. The unborn, the born, the elderly, those that have challenges in life, every life is important and so this is just a day that we just get together and show the community that support three different ways.”

A walk will begin at Frederick Baptist Church at 1:50 p.m. Sunday. Participants can join at any of the stops at Missouri Western Sports Complex at 2:15 or East Hills Library at 2:40. The walk will end at Bishop LeBlond High School where the rally will be held at 3:30. Anyone not wanting to walk can join the Life Chain at 2 p.m. in front of the high school. 

The rally takes place in the Bishop LeBlond High School Stadium and features speakers and music. A shuttle bus will be available after the events to bring people back to wherever they parked their vehicles.
