On Saturday July 6 , join with thousands of others to Stand for Life at Ireland’s largest annual event in support of the human right to life of EVERY human person, especially the smallest and most vulnerable of all, unborn babies.

The Rally for Life is also about raising up the next generation to stand for life and to change the culture.
