Following our Social Justice Liturgy, on Thursday, February 21st, our March for Life participants met, over lunch, with two very special guests: Mr. and Mrs. J. Donald Garvey ’50 SA. Mr. and Mrs. Garvey are amazing examples of Social Justice in our own school community and our city. The Garveys graciously donated funds that allowed our Crusaders to attend the March for Life pilgrimage in Washington D.C. in January. Our March for Life attendees and the Brother Martin community are forever grateful for the impact that the Garveys have on the greater New Orleans community and on our students, particularly the Crusaders for Life & Justice club members.

During the lunch, those Crusaders who attended this year’s March for Life were able to share their favorite memories from the trip with the Garveys, and each individual had the opportunity to thank Mr. and Mrs. Garvey for their contribution. The students even had the opportunity to write a thank you note to the Garveys while they were in Washington D.C. Mr. Francisco Gonzales ‘13, Crusaders for Life & Justice moderator and March for Life trip moderator, concluded the lunch by giving Mr. and Mrs. Garvey the thank you notes as a small token of appreciation from the Crusaders.
