Praying to Save Babies

September 28th to November 6th sidewalk at Planned Parenthood on Case St. Many feel that an alternative of holding a prolife parish prayer vigil at their churches this year is a good idea.

A number also feel strongly that it is important to witness to ‘The Right to Life’ and to continue public prayer for the end of abortion, with the hope that this witness will cause Planned Parenthood clients to choose life, and not go through in the choice to end their pregnancies.

40 Days National leadership says: “Now, more than ever, is the time to turn up the battle for the unborn.” To change hearts and show our support for moms who can choose life! They claim statistics show that when pro-lifers are praying outside abortion facilities, up to 75% of clients choose to cancel their appointments.

Respecting pastor’s and parishioners’ level of comfort, we are rolling out this year’s program with a two-fold approach: On a chosen Adopted-Day, a parish may continue to participate in the peaceful, prayerful vigil on the sidewalk at 12 Case St., this year with a required larger group of four(4) participants at any time during the 12 hours of daylight timeframe, 6AM-6PM, with the idea of safety in numbers. Additionally, participants must be informed and agree that if threatened, they will not confront their aggressor, will leave immediately, and call the police.

And for those pastors and parishes not wishing to conduct the public sidewalk ministry this year, as an alternative, we are inviting parishes to adopta-day and conduct a pro-life parish prayer vigil at their parishes with Holy Hours for Life, Rosaries for Life, Masses for Life, etc.

We encourage you, to please get involved and participate in this year’s 40 Days For Life Campaign. On the sidewalk. In your Churches. Some Parishes have already said they’re going to do both.
