40 Days for Life

Join the Diocese of Albany for 40 Days for Life, a 40-day campaign of peaceful prayer, fasting and witness. Join people all across the country and throughout the world praying for the unborn from Wednesday, March 2, through Sunday, April 10, from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. daily. Prior abortion workers have said that as many as 75 percent of women scheduled for an abortion don’t show when people are there praying, and many women who have had abortions have said if just one person had asked them to keep their baby they would have let the child live. Please be that person for women and be their sign from God that He wants them to have their baby. Let them know that Jesus will help them. Make an appointment with God on the streets and come to a 40 Days for Life event near you. Come with a friend or we will find someone to pray with you. You can protect mothers and children by joining this worldwide mobilization to pray and fast for an end to abortion! Through prayer and fasting, peaceful vigils and community outreach, the 40 Days for Life campaign has inspired 1,000,000 volunteers!
