Would you be willing to pray for one hour to end abortion? 40 Days for Life is a pro-life effort that consists of 40 days of praying, fasting, and holding a peaceful vigil in front of an abortion facility. The fall campaign will take place from September 25th through November 3rd. This will be the 30th campaign in Grand Rapids, and it will take place in front of Planned Parenthood at 425 Cherry Street SE in Grand Rapids. This facility offers surgical abortions, the abortion pill, emergency contraception, and refers for late-term abortions. Dozens of area churches have adopted a day of prayer.
Sacred Heart has adopted Wednesday, September 25th to pray at the peaceful vigil. At least two individuals are needed for each hour of the vigil from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Signup sheets will be available at the back of church and following the 9:30 and 11:30 Masses during Coffee and Do- nuts on September 15th.
