Yseth Marie Alliance for Lifeindicated this January 16 to ACI Prensa that “taking advantage of the fact that tens of thousands of people unite in a single voice in defending the lives of the most defenseless each year in the capital of the United States, Washington DC, we present a space where “Spanish speakers can find themselves in prayer, education and action on this priority issue.”
“So the day after the March for Life we meet each year to abound in these actions that correspond to each of us, as children of God,” he adds.
So, in this conference various experts offer “concrete tools to help us continue expanding the culture of life, understanding, for example, that since the reversal of the Roe vs. Wade, abortion legislation has been left in the hands of each state, our action becomes more important.”
In addition to Sandoval and her EWTN co-host of the program Pro-Life ReportAstrid Bennet, there will be several priests such as Father Víctor Salomón, a priest from Birmingham and co-presenter of the Series “De 2 en 2”, on the same television station.
Neydy Casillas, expert in international law and vice president of the Global Center for Human Rights, will also participate; and Father John Paul Heisler, parochial vicar of Santiago Apóstol Church in the diocese of Arlington, who will teach a workshop for young people on the Theology of the Body.
Also present will be Father Octavio Gómez, priest of the Archdiocese of Miami and editorial director of Radio María USA; and husband and wife Daniel and María Cabrera, communicators, pro-life activists and speakers on family, chastity and finance issues.
In addition to being free, the organizers have arranged for the Mass to be celebrated at 11:15 am and will offer childcare services.

I have been a husband since 2008. My wife and I have three children here and one who went to heaven in 2023, before he was born. Since I joined ACI Prensa in 2005, I have had the opportunity to cover various events of the Catholic Church. Among them, the World Youth Days in Cologne, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro and the apostolic trips of Pope Benedict XVI to Mexico and of Pope Francis to South Korea. I have been sent to the Vatican to cover the Family synods, in 2015; of the Amazon, in 2019 and that of Synodality, in 2023. I closely follow the situation of the Catholic Church in Nicaragua, which suffers persecution from the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega, as well as current ecclesiastical events in the region.
