Please join our newly installed Archbishop Casey, Bishop Iffert of Covington, and thousands more for the 20th Anniversary celebration of our Cross the Bridge for Life event on Sunday, June 1, 2025! Cross the Bridge for Life is a family-friendly celebration of life and life-affirming agencies in our local area. It is a collaborative effort between the Diocese of Covington, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and hard-working volunteers, and is co-sponsored by many life-affirming organizations and businesses from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
Festivities begin at 1PM with live music, free t-shirts, and free face-painting and balloons for kids of all ages. A brief program of positive speakers, including Archbishop Casey, begins at 2PM, followed by a kid-friendly walk to and across the Purple People Bridge and back. The walk begins at the Festival Park in Newport, KY, just west of the Purple People Bridge. Local American Heritage Girls troops, representatives from the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Archbishop Casey and Bishop Iffert of Covington and many priests and seminarians, will lead thousands more as they head their way to cross the Purple People Bridge into Cincinnati and back again. Many of our local pregnancy care centers and other life-supporting organizations will be present to offer information about their services as well. With everything in the news about abortion pill access and the passing of the amendment to Ohio’s constitution to enshrine access to abortion for all 9 months of pregnancy, we need to show our region that our message is one of love, joy and empowering women. There will also be free hot-dogs and water, and other food available for purchase. Mark your calendars for June 1 and bring the whole family to help us celebrate life in 2025!
