Join us and others as Dioceses from across the State of Texas come together in solidarity at the south steps of the State Capitol Building to give witness that Texas RESPECTS ALL LIFE!
The Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade in 2022, returning the power to legislate abortion at the state level. Now more than ever it is important to attend the Texas Rally for Life.
The Rally is open to all adults, college, high school, and middle school students, and youth groups. Seating is limited, so register early! INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY AND YOUTH GROUP registrations are available.
Registration fee only includes transportation to and from Austin, TX via motor coach. Buses will make one stop at Buc-ee’s coming back (own funds). Lunch is available after Mass. Serving two tostadas, rice, and beans and drink OR two chili dogs with fries and drink for $10.00 either option (cash). Individuals or groups can also bring their own food (picnic style) in containers/bags to save money!
