Begin with a Day of Reflection 

YOU can help save lives!

This fall, from September 23 - November 1, our community will be one of more than 250 cities joining together for the largest and longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history -- the 40 Days for Life campaign.

40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life effort that consists of:

• 40 days of fervent prayer, coupled with some type of fasting, if possible 
• 40 days of peaceful vigil, either at an abortion facility, in church, school or home.  Prayer in church can be in the form of a prayer service or private prayer; see suggestions in links above.  Ask you pastor to include a prayer in support of this effort at all your services.  Put reminders in the bulletin each week of the campaign.

Pray for:  

• Women and their babies who are in danger of abortion
  
• Healing of men and women who carry the pain of a past abortion
  
• Workers at abortion clinics, and local, state and national leaders who misguidedly support abortion.
  

Locally, our goal is to have fervent prayer for 12 hours (7:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m.) during the 40 days.  We are asking churches to "adopt-a-day" to have their people cover in prayer the 12 hours of that day either at a clinic, in church or by pledging private prayers. Prayer at an abortion site is particularly encouraged.  Email or phone Linda Brenegan (below) to report your church/group's activities and date/hours of vigil.  Last year 60 Archdiocesan parishes participated.
