The Rally begins at 11:00 a.m., immediately after the 10 a.m. Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes (celebrated by Bishop Thomas Daly). Enjoy hot coffee and cocoa, courtesy of Hello Sugar! who will be selling their fabulous warm donuts at the information tent. Browse the tent where you will find the local providers of care to women and families in need, those hurting after abortion, or struggling with a crisis pregnancy. At 12:00 Noon, Ron Hauenstein of the Spokane Fatherhood Initiative, will speak about the crucial role of fathers. The Walk follows right after the speaker. Give your voice to the unborn. Give your presence to the cause for life! We look forward to seeing you at the biggest Walk for Life NW yet!

Catholic Schools: Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed." This theme encompasses the core products and values that can be found in Catholic schools across the country. Not only are we teaching students to become future servant leaders, faith-filled disciples and enriched citizens in our communities, we, as educators, are growing with them. In Catholic schools, we are all learners, servants and leaders. These shared qualities are what make Catholic schools work. They are what make Catholic schools succeed. The official CSW logo brings the theme to life. The open book made up of multi-colored pages symbolizes how all areas of Catholic schools blend together, with faith — symbolized by the cross — at the forefront. Catholic schools are vibrant, dynamic and excellent.
