The Sisters of Life and the Knights of Columbus will be hosting an all-new “Life Fest” rally to inspire the next generation in a “new spirituality of love and life,” according to a press release.The Life Fest will take place on the morning of the March for Life on Jan. 20, at Washington D.C.’s Entertainment and Sports Arena.“In the wake of the recent Dobbs decision, we see a profound opportunity to build the culture of life in a new way,” Sister Maris Stella, S.V., said in the press release.The rally’s theme, “Because love is the answer,” highlights a Catholic, pro-life response to an increased need to support vulnerable women.“As Sisters of Life, we’ve been walking with women facing unexpected pregnancies for the past 30 years and we see the miracles born of hope,” Sister Agnus Dei of the Sisters of Life, told the media. “We see that when a woman is loved and supported, she can do anything, she can make that choice for life.”The sisters and Knights hope that Life Fest, which will feature live music and speakers as well as Mass and adoration, will move attendees to build a new culture of life, founded on a spirituality that embraces “every human life as a gift.”Life Fest will showcase the musical talents of Catholic artists such as Brother Isaiah and Sarah Kroger as well as talks from inspiring speakers including Pete and Tricia DeMaio and Sister Bethany Madonna.“We exist to love,” Sister Agnus Dei added. “Each and every person has a gift to give at the service of life … this is the time to give it. This is the time to recommit ourselves to love.”Sister Agnus Dei further said that early registration numbers have made the sisters hopeful they will fill the entire 4,200 capacity of the DC Entertainment and Sports Arena, located adjacent to the Congress Heights Metro station.ALSO READ World Cup Fans Embrace Jesus Christ @ Gospel Campaign
