AJ Brown walks The Pilgrimage for the Unborn.

St. Pius X parishioner AJ Brown raised more than $10,000 with The Pilgrimage for the Unborn, a 67.8-mile, over 34-hour walk that began with a 5 a.m. Mass at St. Boniface in Waukee on Saturday, May 30, and ended with a grill out in St. Pius X in Urbandale at 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 31. The pilgrimage included stops at each church along the route to dedicate a rosary to the unborn.

Brown dedicated this pilgrimage to Innervisions HealthCare (IVHCare), a non-profit pregnancy clinic with a stated mission to educate, empower, and encourage women with unplanned pregnancies by connecting them with the care, support, and information they need to make a fully informed decision.
