20 years ago In April 2005, John organized one of the biggest mass rallies in Canadian history on Parliament Hill to support the existing definition of marriage. The March for Marriage and Freedom was held on April 9, 2005 and drew between 15,000 and 20,000 people, featuring some of the most prominent politicians and social conservative activists in Canada.
Listen to John's incredibly passionate speech below
After mass, today at the Annunciation Parish, Lorraine drove Jackie, Margaret, and me to Blair Station where we took the train downtown. Jennifer met us at the Rideau Centre and the five of us walked from there to the War memorial on Wellington Street for the Jericho Walk organized by the Joan of Arc Community by John Pacheco. Thank you, John!

Resting after that trek up those stairs ooh la la!
I took this photo ( above) of the Pilgrims and then sat down on the concrete ledge. A cop or a security guard came over and told me to go to the other side because I wasn't allowed to sit there. ???
