Rosary Cathedral in Toledo will hold a Mass at 6 p.m. today, then go to the Ashland Avenue Baptist Church and walk to the Toledo Center for Choice, where marchers will recite two Rosaries.

In Maumee, the St. Joseph Knights of Columbus will hold a prayer service and march at 2 p.m. Tuesday. The walk starts at St. Joseph Catholic Parish, 104 W. Broadway, and ends at St. Joseph Cemetery.
