Join us for the fifth annual Virginia Pro-life Day on January 15, 2026!  Meet with your legislators to advocate for pro-life causes followed by Mass with Bishop Burbidge and Bishop Knestout.

Advocate for Life!  Your personal presence is vital. It powerfully supports pro-life members of the General Assembly or encourages those who have voted against pro-life bills in the past to reconsider their views. We want our legislators to see we are engaged and expect to see them pass life-affirming legislation.

Talking points, legislative updates and tips for effective advocacy will be provided by the organizers to make meetings easy and successful. You can just listen and learn, or volunteer to highlight the provided pro-life talking points of one of the bills!

When: Thursday, January 15 | 8:00 am–1:00 pm
Where: Virginia State Capitol, Richmond, VA

Contact RickLoffredo@outlook.com for further details and for carpooling.

VA Pro-Life Day is collaborative effort of the Virginia Catholic Conference, the Dioceses of Arlington and Richmond, and Virginia Society for Human Life.

We will gather in constituent groups at Greater Richmond Convention Center at 8:30 am, then meet with the state senators and delegates, and then optionally visit galleries or attend Mass before heading back to Nativity. Contact rickloffredo@outlook.com if interested in carpooling.
