Martin
Luther King Day Memorial Program
Only 21/2-months shy of the 40th anniversary of the assassination of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., fifth- through eighth-grade students of Bishop Hogan Memorial School in Chillicothe on Friday held their annual public memorial program in anticipation of today's Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. The program, organized by Mrs. Charlene Thompson, fifth and sixth grade teacher at
BHMS, with music coordinated by Mrs. Mary Garr, the school's music instructor, this year centered around the theme, “He Had A Dream.”

The approximately 40-minute program included several vocal music performances by the school's Eagles Wings choir (above) and short reflections on King's life, faith, and work. The program again featured Charles Epps of Chillicothe (inset, lower left), who gave some reflections and also re-read a portion of King's final public speech, which has come to be known as the “I've Been to the Mountaintop” speech given in Memphis at a sanitation workers rally on April 3, 1968, the night before he was slain outside a Memphis motel. In addition, BHMS sixth grade student Matthew Sturm (inset, lower right) recited an abridged version of the latter portion of King's most famous speech, “I Have a Dream,” given during the August 1963 civil rights “March on Washington.” In addition to the school's students and faculty, an estimated 30-40 parents and other members of the public attended.
THE 35TH ANNUAL MARCH FOR LIFE
This January 22 the 35th Annual March for Life was held in Washington, D.C. Pilgrims have faithfully braved the cold weather every year since 1973 to peacefully and prayerfully protest the Supreme Court decision, Roe v Wade, that legalized abortion on demand in our country. The numbers of pilgrims have steadily increased over the years until today, with close to 100,000 or more gather in front of the White House and march up Constitution Ave to the Supreme Court Building past the Capitol Building. Catholic schools and parishes from all over the country send busloads of pilgrims. The numbers of young people are amazing. Cardinals, Bishops, priests, seminarians, and religious sisters join the laity and pray the rosary, chant and sing along the way. The night before most of these pilgrims join together at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Washington for Mass that has come to be known as the Rose Mass or Mass to end Abortion.
The huge basilica which holds 3000 is bursting at the seams with standing room only and overflow in the halls, side chapels
and downstairs in the Crypt Church with those participating through closed circuit
TV.
We are thankful to Father Tom for allowing our parish 8th graders the opportunity to experience this faith-building
pilgrimage. Those from our parish attending were: Brian Murrell, teacher; Mary Garr and Mary Mathew, adult chaperones;
Zachary Garr, Jake Mathew, Hunter Keller, Addie Stottlemyre, Stephanie Wade, and Emily Clark, students.
Thank you to the parishioners that have supported us through your donations at our breakfasts and dinner with your free will offerings
and to the Knights of Columbus. Without your help, these young people would miss a very important opportunity
that helps to shape their moral lives.
