40 Days For Life

40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that draws attention to the evil of abortion through the use of a three-point program:

" Prayer and fasting
" Constant vigil
" Community outreach

40 Days for Life takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families. It puts into action a desire to cooperate with God in the carrying out of His plan for the end of abortion in America.
The 40-day campaign tracks Biblical history, where God used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities ... and the entire world. From Noah in the flood to Moses on the mountain to the disciples after Christ's resurrection, it is clear that God sees the transformative value of His people accepting and meeting a 40-day challenge.

We have an opportunity this year to come to the aid of unborn babies in danger of abortion!

You are invited to join hands with 40 Days for Life, beginning September 28 – November 6, 2011.

Cries for help are reaching our Lord’s ears with peaceful prayer vigils outside abortion clinics and in faithful hearts at Home and Church.

Our Lady’s Rosary is a safety net for these little souls.

Our Lord said, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.”

If you feel a nudging -- or hear a little echo inside...

Maybe God is calling you to come to the aid of these little innocents. One person does make a difference!

There is something special in each of us – a gift to share.

MN abortions at record low, but Planned Parenthood abortions up.

According to MCCL, Planned Parenthood was the only abortion provider to perform more abortions in 2010 than 2009. It dominates 35 percent of the state’s abortion business. 

Currently, a new abortion clinic is under construction in St. Paul, which will be the nation’s third largest Planned Parenthood facilty.
