Barre kickoff Sunday, 1 pm
For the first time ever, the 40 Days for Life prayer vigil on sidewalks near Vermont abortion clinics will be held in three cities: Barre, Rutland and Burlington.
The Barre spring campaign kickoff will be held Sunday, February 19 at 1pm in the Parish Hall at St. Monica Church, on Summer Street, Barre. Veteran pro-life activists Gerry Callan of Waterbury Center will speak about her experiences through the years.
For more information, go to http://www.40daysforlife.com. Information specific to each city is available there.
The visible, public centerpiece of 40 Days for Life is a focused, 40-day, prayer vigil outside a single Planned Parenthood center or other abortion facility.
It is a peaceful and educational presence. Those who are called to stand witness send a powerful message to the community about the tragic reality of abortion. It also serves as a call to repentance for those who work at the abortion center and those who patronize the facility.
