About Us

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.
