Vision and Mission of 40 Days for Life

  • Vision: To access God’s power through prayer, fasting, and peaceful vigil to end abortion.
  • Mission: To unite the Body of Christ in a spirit of repentance and unity during a focused 40-day campaign of prayer, fasting, and peaceful witness—seeking God’s favor to turn hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life, and thus bring an end to abortion.

Our Goals

  • To fill every day and time slot with prayerful, peaceful prayer warriors throughout the campaign (see our local events below for details).
  • To encourage every parish in our diocese to participate by designating a peaceful prayer day with a specific date and time listed on our calendar.

Join Our Planning Team

We are seeking passionate, self-motivated individuals and strong prayer warriors committed to persevering for an end to abortion and the sanctity of life. We cannot do this without you. Contact us to get involved!

For questions or to participate, contact Paul at (408) 207-5781 or 40dflsanjose@gmail.com.

Thank you for standing faithfully for life—your prayers truly make a difference!
