40 DAYS OF LIFE:
40 Days of Life is a focused pro-life effort that consists of:
- 40 Days of prayer and fasting (2 campaigns each year)
- 40 Days of peaceful vigil held from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in front of Planned Parenthood
- 40 Days of Communion outreach
We are praying that with God’s help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in our community and throughout America. The beginning of the end has already started. For more information, please contact Paula Green at reled@stalexis.org.
MARCH FOR LIFE:
March for Life takes place in Washington, D.C. each January. Beginning with 5:30 a.m. Mass,
participants then board a bus which departs from Saint Alexis at 6:00 a.m. for Washington, D.C., where it meets up with marchers from all across the United States to peacefully walk in support of life. Following the March, the bus returns to Saint Alexis later that evening. For more information, please contact Paula Green at reled@stalexis.org.
