40 Days for Life is back this Lent
February 22 - April 1
Our community will be joining 258 cities from coast to coast in the US, Canada, England, Australia, Spain, Ireland and Poland 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
40 Days for Life takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families. It puts into action a desire to cooperate with God in the carrying out of His plan for the end of abortion.
The 40-day campaign tracks Biblical history, where God used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities ... and the entire world. From Noah in the flood to Moses on the mountain to the disciples after Christ's resurrection, it is clear that God sees the transformative value of His people accepting and meeting a 40-day challenge.
We are praying that, with God's help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in Oakville - throughout Canada and the rest of the world.
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 facility.
You can help make a life-saving impact by joining our local vigil at:
Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital
327 Reynolds Street, Oakville, Ontario
