40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life campaign with a vision to access God's power through prayer, fasting, and peaceful vigil to end abortion throughout the world. 

In what has grown to be an international effort over the last three years, 2,811 lives have been reported as spared from abortion – and those are just the ones we know about! 

Please consider joining the 40 Days for Life and help with prayers and presence in the Worcester Diocese this fall.  The campaign runs from Sept. 22 through Oct. 31.  You can participate by signing up for a time to join others outside of Problem Pregnancy on Pleasant St. in Worcester  any day between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.  People are especially needed on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays when abortions are being done at Planned Parenthood across the street. 

Can't be physically present? You can also commit to pray and/or fast at a specific time from wherever you are. 

Contact area coordinator Pauline Morris at (508) 473-6718 or pmorris113@comcast.net  to sign up or for more information. 

You can also sign up directly through the local website:  www.40daysforlife.com/worcester. 

Bring a friend or family member, your high school football team, or a group of parishioners to spend an hour in quiet prayerful witness for an end to abortion!  This effort is supported by the Diocese of Worcester.  We hope every parish will be represented at some point during the 40 Days.  Your prayers do save lives!
