Crossroads was founded in 1994 by Steve Sanborn, a student at Franciscan
Univeristy of Steubenville (Ohio) as a response to the Holy Father's
call to take an active role in the pro-life movement in order to
establish a Culture of Life. An integral part of Crossroads is our
yearly pilgrimage acrosss the United States. Each summer, young
adults walk from San Francisco and Los Angeles, California to Washington,
D.C. witnessing to the dignity and sanctity of all human life from
the moment of conception to natural death.
During our pilgrimage across the United States, we strive always
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 America.
We also speak to parish groups to encourage pro-life activism in
their communities.
During the walk, we stop at local abortion clinics 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.
Our organization also sponsors what is known as the Michael Project
Fund. Through the donations we receive, we are able to provide some
assistance to women in financial crisis who would like to choose
the gift of life for their child.
Each young adult who takes on the challenge of walking across our
country with Crossroads is an integral part of the ministry.
