The Best Photos of the Historic Turnpike Mass of 2016!

As you may have heard, a Catholic pro-life student group going home after the March for Life got stuck on the highway.

With tons of time and not much to do, they did something incredible: they build an altar out of snow and had Mass on the side of the highway! Some people nicknamed the spot the St. John Paul the Great hillside chapel.

Bad weather can’t stop the Mass!
