It’s been one more meaningful campaign this year. The 40 Days For Life Team thanks you very much for your peaceful witness and heartfelt prayers for the moms and their unborn children.

Faithful examples inspire all of us to join in and continue in this most worthy cause. May our prayers be answered, may the victory be won.

We invite and encourage you to join us at the concluding 40 Days For Life Mass being held this
