SAN DIEGO— As a spiritual preparation for the San Diego Walk for Life, the Catholic community will offer a Multicultural Novena for Life, Jan. 10 to 18, at parishes across the diocese. The novena is to pray for the protection of human life. Each day’s intention is accompanied by a short reflection and suggested actions to help build a culture of life.
