YOU can help save lives!
Spring 2012, from February 22nd through April 1st, our community will be one of hundreds of cities across the nation 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 Kalamazoo -- and throughout America.
The Leadership team is forming NOW! If you'd like to help - please let us know - email us at 40dayskalamazoo@gmail.com or call (269) 254-9337.

Clergy Endorsement:
We recently received this statement from Bishop Paul Bradley of the Catholic Diocese of Kalamazoo:
“Each of us can be instrumental in protecting and saving the delicate and God-given life of the unborn through the power of our prayers and actions. Our Catholic faith calls us to reach out to our brothers and sisters in peaceful and affirming ways to offer our support and hope for a culture that values the dignity of human life. The 40 Days of Life campaign is one such program which promotes vigilant and peaceful support to all those wrestling with crucial life issues and offers hope for a transformed world that someday will always choose to protect the most vulnerable of God’s creation.”
~Most Rev. Paul J. Bradley, Bishop of Kalamazoo

Please know that if you feel some fear and trepidation ... you are perfectly normal. But the peace you will experience, knowing that your prayer is heard and answered on behalf of the unborn will soon calm your fear.
