Crossroads was founded in the United States as a response to our late Holy Father, Blessed John Paul II's call to take an active role in the pro-life movement in order to establish a Culture of Life. Every year, young adults walk great distances, witnessing to the dignity and sanctity of all human life from the moment of conception to natural death. During our pro-life pilgrimages, we strive alway
s to join our efforts, prayers and small sacrifices with the sufferings of Christ Crucified for the sake of the innocent. Part of the mission of our walk is to speak to the survivors of abortion — the youth of our societies. We also speak to parish groups to encourage pro-life activism in their communities. During the walk, we stop at local abortion mills along the route to participate in prayerful, peaceful protests and sidewalk counseling. Crossroads recognizes the need to spread the message of life and love through the means that the modern world provides. We actively participate in radio, television and newspaper interviews with the mainstream media as well as religious media outlets. Each young adult who takes on the challenge of walking with Crossroads is an integral part of the ministry.
