After procession we will have a 20min informational meeting of the basics of 40 Days for Life. This will help with questions we receive about this event. Where do I stand? What is a Sidewalk Counselor? What do I do while I'm there? Where is the pregnancy care center in the area? Signs, permits and parking? After the informational meeting we will move to Our Lady of Lourdes for the workshop. See information below.

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 Raleigh and throughout America.

Taking 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 of a local abortion facility.

A vigil is always peaceful and prayerful. All participants agree to abide by the Statement of Peace with a pledge to conduct themselves in a Christ-like manner.

Want to become involved?  We need help for the Spring vigil.  Email us at
