Please find attached ( at bottom of page) our first 40 Days For Life Fall Campaign outreach for the September 28 - November 6, 2011 Campaign.
As you will read in the letter:
. During the fall campaign a new spiritual dimension will be added with two hours of daily public proclamation of Sacred Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. (80 hours of reading) Deacon Charles Fink will co ordinate the Scripture reading. please advise your deacon
For details, if you wish to know more visit: http://40daysforlife.com/report . Our own website will be updated next month http://www.40daysforlife.com/ottawa/
With the support of Archbishop Prendergast, it is hoped that every parish community will be involved in the upcoming 40 Days for Life Campaign. It is anticipated that pro-life representatives will assist with informing the parishioners of vital information concerning the campaign. Suggested bulletin announcements and posters will be made available through the representatives. In cases where there is no pro-life representative please contact Campaign Life Coalition at 613-729-0379 or email: clcottawa@bellnet.ca and arrangements will be made to assist your parish.
Wishing you a Grace filled summer
