    What is the “Life Chain”?

    Life Chain is a national event held the first Sunday of October every year.  Right to Life groups, churches and individuals gather for one hour of silence and individual prayer for the unborn and the changing of our society to protect all life.  Posters, which include prayers on the back, are given to each participant to hold while standing in line along a busy street.  Mecosta/Osceola Right to Life line starts at State and Cedar Streets.  The start time is 1:30 p.m., rain or shine!  Rosie and Gary Montross are the parish representatives for Mecosta/Osceola Right to Life (RTL).
