The 40 Day for Life campaign began September 24 and continues until November 2. Our parish has committed to provide volunteers to pray at the Little Rock Family Planning Service, 4 Office Park Drive. We will be covering two hours on Tuesday, Octobet 21, from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. and four hours on Saturday, October 25, from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m.If you have never prayed and witnessed in public before, please consider joining us for one hour on either day. Many women have said that seeing the "prayer warriors" convinced them to "choose life" for their babies. Several abortion clinics have been close, and workers have been converted, since this now international campaign, began in 2004.
Prayerfully consider what God is calling us to do indiviually: pray for an end to abortion and for respect for all human life, from conception to natural death, wear a pro-life button, and take extras from the basket to share with family and friends, and say the rosary with pro-life meditations.
Stop by the Respect Life display table in the narthex for more information. Prayer cards are available. There is a sign-up sheet for the prayer vigil in Little Rock, just indicate if you would like a ride.
