The Winter/Spring 40 Days for Life campaign takes place from February 26 to April 5. It’s the largest campaign to date with 507 locations, around the world, taking part.
Ottawa will not be organizing a downtown prayer vigil during this campaign, but I do ask that you keep the plight of the unborn in mind during your Lenten prayers and sacrifices.
Two – Novena of Masses are being held. This consists of nine consecutive daily Mases, with the intention, to pray for the permanent closure of the Bank Street abortion facility and the conversion of all the staff. If possible, please attend these Masses and join us in prayer as we storm heaven and ask that those involved in the abortion industry stop the slaughter. We continue in our effort to end abortion. If only our society understood how it pierces God’s heart when we destroy His precious gift of life …
