YOU can help save lives!
This spring, from February 22nd-April 1st, our community will be one of hundreds of 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 prayer and fasting
-
40 days of peaceful vigil
-
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.

Take a stand for life
Statement from: Most Reverend Michael J. Sheridan, Bishop of Colorado Springs:
“The most powerful weapons that we have to combat the evil of abortion are prayer and fasting. The 40 Days for Life international campaign is an obvious way for every Catholic to join in prayer for an end to abortion in our country and our world. I urge all to be involved.”
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 the local Planned Parenthood facility.
You can help make a life-saving impact by joining our local vigil at
Planned Parenthood
3480 Centennial Blvd.
Colorado Springs, CO
As of this posting, vehicles can be parked in the King Sooper's parking lot. However, to be respectful, we ask you to park as far away from the business as possible to leave ample space for their customers (park in the parking spaces facing east) Pray along the Centennial Blvd. sidewalk. DO NOT go into either of the 2 private drives (south and east) of Planned Parenthood.
Sign up to participate in our local 40 Days for Life vigil by clicking the "Vigil Schedule" link at the top of this page.
