Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Diocese of Buffalo will not host a trip to the March for Life 2025 in Washington, D.C., this year. Instead, the Respect Life office will hold a Vigil for Life Mass on Thursday, Jan. 23, at 6 p.m., at St. Christopher Parish, 2660 Niagara Falls Blvd., in Tonawanda.
Father Peter Karalus, vicar general of the diocese, will preside at the 6 p.m. Mass. At 7 p.m. Lexi and Josh Matam will share their story of being witnesses to life and how precious life is through the story of their daughter, Chiara. Adoration will follow.
