Hike for Life 2023

Sept 30 – Oct 28 – Various locations

This is the 50th Anniversary of the Hike for Life – Started in 1973 in a direct response to Roe v Wade, the H4L has been working to defend Life and ensure that Pro-Life ministries have the funds they need to defend and protect Life.

The Hike for Life belongs to each and every Knight in Dallas, so I am asking that you support the Hike on ots 50th anniversary like never before.

Never been to a Hike – go
Never contributed – collect a few dollars and sponsor someone
Never volunteered at a Hike – consider doing so.

Always go to a Hike – Please come back!

Last year the Dallas area Hikes supported these ministries:

• White Rose Pregnancy Center – $30,000
• Birth Choice Pregnancy Center – $30,000
• Mater Filius Maternity Home – $10,000
• Bella House Maternity Home – $10,000
• In My Shoes Maternity Home – $10,000
• Missionaries of Charity – $10,000
• Catholic Pro-Life Community – $10,000
• Option Line – $1,000
• Guadalupe Radio Network – $1,000

Each of the ministries are hoping that we can provide then with the same funds or more – but it will not just happen – I need as many Knights and their families to Hike for Life. When you Hike – you are helping moms and saving babies!

An Evening of Celebration & Praise with Mark Houck – Mark Houck and his family made headlines around the world when 25 FBI agents raided their Pennsylvania home, guns drawn. Mark faced multiple felonies, prison time and $350,000 in fines for sidewalk counseling and defending his son from an aggressive abortion activist. Mark was promptly acquitted in January. Come hear his amazing story.

To buy tickets please go to:  www.texlife.org – I hope to see you there.

Both are in need of volunteers also to counsel and help in other ways.

Consider hosting a Baby Shower at your parish for one of both PRC’s.
