What is IGNITE for Life? Take a look!

Join us at IGNITE to kick-off the Kansas March for Life and in recognition of the National Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children.  

IGNITE for LIFE is an inspirational, pro-love rally for the protection of preborn children and the dignity of women facing unplanned or challenging pregnancies. 

  • Live music!
  • Motivational speakers!
  • Engaging ministry tables!
  • The celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of Mass with the Bishops of Kansas!

Following IGNITE, all are invited to join in the Kansas March for Life to the capitol for the Kansans for Life rally.  IGNITE for LIFE is sponsored by the Pro-Life Office of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas.

Unfortunately, no food is allowed inside the Topeka Performing Arts Center per our contract. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We realize that some will need to eat something if planning to march to the Capitol and take part in the Kansans for Life Rally or a Capitol tour.

Kansans for Life will be offering a light lunch on a first come first served basis to the first 500 people following the Rally for Life to the second floor of the capitol building.

Here are some other options to consider:

  • Encourage your students to eat a hearty breakfast before coming to IGNITE or provide a snack on their drive to the event.
  • Have your students pack a snack or sandwich in their coat pocket to eat during the march to the capitol.
  • Use the 20 minute break after Mass to eat a sandwich in your bus/cars or outside the TPAC before the March.
