On January 23, 2006, the 33rd Anniversary of the Supreme Court Decision Roe vs Wade legalizing abortion, faithful and clergy of the diocese from the Washington D.C., Pittsburgh, Johnstown, Tri-State, New Jersey and New England deaneries travelled to Washington D.C. to participate in the Annual March For Life. Joining the Orthodox Christians For Life, the faithful processed from the National Mall along Constitution Boulevard to the Supreme Court, where a Panachida was served for the 45 million pre-born children, lost to the sin of abortion since its legalization.
