Collegeville, PA
HOME: Welcome to 40 Days for Life

YOU can help save lives!

This Spring 2010, from Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2010 - Palm Sunday, March 28, 2010, our community will be one of more than
165 USA cities across the United States, Canada, Australia and Northern Ireland 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 prayer and fasting
  • 40 days of peaceful vigil - Hours 8:00am to 8:00pm
  • 40 days of community outreach

We are praying that, with God's help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in our city -- and throughout America.

Results of Past Campaigns

In the past 5 campaigns nationally coordinated 40 Days for Life mobilized people of faith and conscience in 240 cities across 50 states and beyond.  Results for national campaign are shown below:

  • 2,168 babies saved, that we know of
  • 27 clinic workers quit their job
  • 5 abortion clinics have completely shutdown

Take a stand for life

While all aspects of 40 Days for Life are crucial in our effort to end abortion, the most visible component is the peaceful prayer vigil outside Collegeville Planned Parenthood facility.

By speaking and witnessing about human life in love, we can help build a society that protects and respects every human life, born and unborn, and better reflects our status as children of God.
