Protecting, defending, and promoting the family, the Building Block of Society

Sacred Heart March for Life and Marriage

With the 2022 Dobbs Decision, the 1973 Roe Decision has been repealed and the fight to defend pre-born children is no longer at the federal level but at the local level. Evidence of this is the City of San Antonio having passed a $500,000 line item in the City’s 2024 budget on September 14, 2023, for the direct funding of abortion under the title of “Reproductive Justice Fund”. If the CoSAgov gets away with this act, many other progressive-run cities in Texas will follow suit.

The Sacred Heart March For Life And Marriage’s mission is to CELEBRATE THE UNBORN TEXANS SAVED SINCE DOBBS (2022) & COMMEMORATE THE UNDERMINING OF MARRIAGE SINCE OBERGFELL (2015).

Our Keynote Speaker: Nancy Charles
