Bridgeport 40 Days for Life Begins Feb. 18th
February 2nd, 2012 by Peter
Connecticut’s pro-life movement is particularly strong in Bridgeport. Here is video of my speech at the Bridgeport abortion clinic marking the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
And here is a notice on the Bridgeport 40 Days for Life sent to FIC by our friend, Sr. Mary Concepta:
Our local community in Fairfield County will again participate in the 40 Days for Life Spring Campaign (Feb. 22-April 1, 2012), set to open on Feb. 18, 9am with Holy Mass celebrated by Bishop William Lori followed by pro-life speakers and a procession to the vigil site with blessing. [It begins at the Catholic Center, 238 Jewett Ave, Bridgeport.] We invite you to join this Spring 2012 campaign individually or by inviting your Church and/or organization to consider ‘Adopting-a-Day’ of prayerful vigil at the Summit Women’s Center (10am-6pm, 3787 Main St. Bridgeport). We have ’40 DFL Kits’ available to make it easy for you to get your Church or organization involved. Please let us know if we can send you one either electronically or by mail. Please forward this announcement to others who may be interested in participating. Thank you!
Even if you are unable to stand vigil with us in solidarity with the unborn and their mothers and fathers, please keep this effort in your prayers in a special way during the 40 days of Lent. We offer our prayers and fasting to God and trust that He will bring the tragedy of abortion to an end in our community and heal our wounded nation. We are so grateful to you for uniting your prayers with ours on behalf of the most vulnerable. May God reward you with His abundant Life!
