January 23, 201511 yr As they do every year, Cov Cath sent 100+ of their Colonels along with several hundred other faithful from the Diocese of Covington to represent the school and take part in the national March For Life in Washington DC, held annually on the anniversary of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. It's not terribly unusual for the diocesan group to be greeted by a Senator or Congressman from their constituency, but I don't know that they've ever been asked to "perform" for one of them. :lol2: KY 4th District Congressman Thomas Massie posted this video to his Facebook page this morning: Yesterday, these kids from Covington Catholic visited the Capitol for The March for Life. What they did next will shock you. #CovCath #MarchForLife (Sorry...I don't think we have the capability on here to embed videos that have been posted directly to YouTube.)
January 23, 201511 yr That's awesome. Always been jealous of the Crazies and what they do for the atmosphere at CovCath.
January 23, 201511 yr I think 100+ is too low of a #. I thought I read that at least half of CovCath students took the trip this year. That's incredible! My girl is there. NCC students are sightseeing today before heading back this evening.
January 23, 201511 yr My high school used to take the whole school to the Presidential Inauguration every four years. I'm not sure if they still do that or not...
January 23, 201511 yr Author I think 100+ is too low of a #. I thought I read that at least half of CovCath students took the trip this year. That's incredible! My girl is there. NCC students are sightseeing today before heading back this evening. I'm not sure what the official number was (I just based it off of seeing about 9 rows of students sitting on the steps in the video). That may or may not have been the whole entourage from Cov Cath, because they split each school into groups of 10 or so students walking around with a chaperon, and they often times end up in different places throughout the day. For what it's worth, though, the campus ministry team at Cov Cath is doing some awesome things these days.
January 23, 201511 yr Author Can you post a link to the YouTube video? Can't access Facebook at work. I looked for it on YouTube but couldn't find anything. The video looks like it was uploaded directly from a phone to Facebook...so I don't know if there's another video of it anywhere right now.

If memory serves, I think the weekly alumni e-mail said CCH sent 220 to Washington this year.

January 23, 201511 yr I can hear them now! "She's shaking, she's quaking, she better not be killing that baby she's making"

January 23, 201511 yr .... How about the comment under the picture that thinks the students are protesting the President? Umm, they are riding a roller coaster. Duh.
