Pro-Life event scheduled for Oct. 5 along Highway 12

CROFTON — The 2025 Life Chain for this area of Nebraska will extend from St. Rose of Lima parish at Crofton to the extreme eastern boundaries to Holy Family parish near Bow Valley on Highway 12.

The Life Chains are set for Sunday, Oct. 5. St. Rose of Lima / Crofton will pray on the parish grounds along Highway 12 from 2-3 p.m.; Holy Family of Cedar County will stand in prayer north of Bow Valley also on Highway 12, 1.5 miles east of Highway 57, from 3-4 p.m.

Respect Life groups of Our Catholic Family of Parishes are inviting the general public as well as friends, neighbors and fellow parishioners to stand with thousands of Pro-Lifers throughout the United States all on the same day.

Last year, about 50 Life Chains were held in Nebraska alone with over 1,530 cities and towns holding prayer services in the United States all on the same day.

The Chain, held in conjunction with Respect Life Month, will be held rain or shine and signs will be provided at the two sites. Planners for the event are asking participants to bring the entire family. Water, lawn chairs, umbrellas and strollers are welcome.
