40 DAYS FOR LIFE Wednesday, September 28 – Sunday, November 6, 2016 The 40 Days for Life campaign is a community-based campaign that draws attention to the evil of abortion through the use of a three-point program: Prayer and fasting, Peaceful vigil, and Community outreach. Volunteers are needed to pray at Abortion Clinics in the Diocese of Joliet. See: http://40daysforlife.com. LIFE CHAIN Sunday, October 2 Life Chain is a peaceful and prayerful public witness of pro -life individuals standing while praying for our nation and for an end to abortion. It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children and that the Church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception until natural death.
