The event is meant to build upon pro-life activities many Catholic students take part in throughout the school year including the national March for Life rally held in Washington, D.C. each January, which commemorates the Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion, by the Supreme Court. The day-long program will be run by Joseph Aquilante, Department Chair of the Theology Department at Bishop Shanahan High School (Chester County) and members of The Culture Project International.
