Join the faithful in the Diocese of Albany for 40 Days for Life, a 40-day spring campaign of peaceful prayer, fasting and witness. Join people all across the country and throughout the world for the unborn from Wednesday, March 5, through Sunday, April 13.
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.
