40 Days for Life begins September 23rd with a Vigil Mass

September 24th through November 2nd

Praying for a change of mothers’ hearts and for an end to the taking of innocent lives.

40 Days For Life is a string of nearly 6,500 local campaigns throughout the world -with over 1,000,000 people taking a peaceful, prayerful approach by standing up for the dignity of all human life – praying outside Planned Parenthood facilities and speaking up about this injustice - with our families, friends, neighbors, and communities. It puts into action a desire to cooperate with God in carrying out of His Plan to end the taking of innocent pre-born lives. It draws attention to the evil of abortion by the powerful witness of our 40 Days of Prayer, Fasting, and Outreach.

The Diocese of Norwich will again participate in the 40 Days For Life Campaign this year.

The Norwich 40 DAYS FOR LIFE campaign will begin with
a Vigil Mass at Saint Patrick Cathedral
Tuesday, September 23, at 6:30pm.

Please join us in praying to God to bless our efforts over these 40 Days.
All members of the diocese, different faith traditions, and the greater community at large are invited.
