National Prayer Service to Memorialize
Miss Nellie Gray
Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life and
President of the National Pro-life Religious Council, announced
today that the national pro-life prayer service to be held on
the morning of Friday, January 25, in Washington, D.C. will be
dedicated to the memory of Miss Nellie Gray, who led the March
for Life every year since 1974.
The service, known as the National Memorial for the Pre-Born
and Their Mothers and Fathers, is interdenominational, and has
taken place for nearly two decades. The planning for the January
service has been in the works for a couple of years already, due
to the significance of this January being the 40th anniversary
of Roe vs. Wade.
“Now, we have an even deeper meaning to the service,” said
Fr. Pavone. “We will thank the Lord for Nellie, we will commend
her to the Author of Life, and we will beg God that He will
bestow on us all a double-portion of her spirit. Attending this
service will be a wonderful way to honor her memory and renew
our determination to fulfill her vision.”
The service will take place from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Jan.
25 in the DAR Constitution Hall, 1776 D Street Northwest,
Washington, D.C. It is open to the public. That same afternoon,
the March for Life, which Nellie Gray led, will take place. To
keep up to date as plans progress for the morning prayer service
and other events regarding the 40th anniversary of Roe, visit
