Cadets Attend National Prayer Vigil

Cadet in Charge (CIC) Evan Delvaux led cadets of the West Point Catholic Chapel to the Opening Mass for the National Prayer Vigil for Life in Washington D.C. and toured the National Cemetery in Arlington, VA. Cardinal Dolan the Archbishop of New York celebrated the annual Mass for Life at the Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Washington, D.C. The cadets also got a tour of the Archdiocese of Military Services (AMS) offices at the Cardinal O'Brien Pastoral center and celebrated Mass with Timothy P. Broglio, the Archbishop for the Military Services. This trip-section gave all cadets the opportunity to reflect on two principles that are fundamental to the military profession: the intrinsic value of all human beings and the defense of human life.
