A peaceful, prayerful 40 Days for Life Vigil

"America, you are beautiful… and blessed..
The ultimate test of your greatness is the way you treat every human being,
but especially the weakest and most defenseless.
If you want equal justice for all and true freedom and lasting peace, then America, defend life."

Saint Pope John Paul II- Address to the people of America - September 1987

Bishop Barber once again invites you to join in a “Great Prayer for Life,” as Pope John Paul II once called it. As we plea to God for the end of this pandemic and a return to indoor Mass in our churches, we remember the most vulnerable, our defenseless unborn brothers and sisters. You are invited to get involved in the efforts to help defend their fundamental right to life. We are called to be a voice that calls out to mothers and fathers struggling with a difficult pregnancy to know they have support and an alternative to abortion.

Please help us spread the word and encourage those in your parish community to join.
