Niagara Falls, NY
HOME: Welcome to 40 Days for Life

YOU can help save lives!

This spring, from February 6 - March 16, our community will be one of 59 cities in 31 states joining together for one of the largest simultaneous pro-life mobilizations in history -- the national 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

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 abortion (or Planned Parenthood) facility.

You can help make a life-saving impact by joining our local vigil beginning at 12:00 noon on February 6, 2008 at:

Planned Parenthood of Niagara County
6951 Williams Road
Niagara Falls, NY 14304

 

Driving Directions:  From I-190 to LaSalle Expressway.  Follow LaSalle Expressway until it ends.  Turn left on Williams Road.  Planned Parenthood facility is on the right at Williams and Lancelot (first traffic light) 

Please contact us at  716.940.5633 or e-mail: BBAmerica@aol.com to learn more, to sign up for specific hours, or to let us know how you feel called to serve God in this effort.
