Day 27: Our Final 2 Weeks

253 babies saved so far through 40 Days for Life this spring -- thank you, God!

And thank you all for your prayers, as I'm sure they made a difference for these children!

Less than two weeks left to go, and alas, our vigil schedule still has many holes in it. Will you consider signing up for a few hours between now and the end of our campaign?

Twice this weekend I passed the vigil site...

...in the course of a long Saturday of door-dropping...

...only to see there was no one praying.

Let's step up the pace, team!

Since it's not fair asking people to do what you won't do yourself, I am making a personal commitment to two hours at the vigil site each day from now until Day 40.

Also, we have only two more Saturdays for our door-to-door efforts -- will you consider coming out for at least an hour to help us distribute flyers this weekend?

Door-to-door outreach is one of the most exciting parts of the campaign, but for some reason has the least participation. So I offer tremendous thanks to all the plucky souls who have assisted thus far!

I'm planning to walk all day on the final Saturday of our campaign - April 16. I'd love to have some friends join me -- any chance you can be there?

Just imagine what our city could be like if each person had the opportunity to learn the truth about abortion. Your time will not be wasted, I can guarantee that!

To help out with the outreach faction, email Paul.

Finally, I'm excited to tell you we finally have a location for our concluding celebration dinner, which will be a combined event including the Fairfax and Washington DC campaign teams. The festivities will take place at
  • St. Lawrence Church (6222 Franconia Rd, 22310) on
  • Sunday, April 17, beginning at
  • 1:30pm
Mark your calendars now to attend!

We are working on some great entertainment, food, and speakers for your edification, but we could use some help with cooks, music, and miscellaneous tasks for the afternoon. If you or a friend can help out with that, let me know at jacinta.40days@gmail.com. Also if you know or work with a pro-life group that would like to present information to folks attending, feel free to let me know about that, too. Thanks!

Below are a few pictures, from two visiting vigilers from Fairfax: Jonathan and his friend Dave. Feel free to send pictures and your experiences for inclusion in our daily reports. We all need the encouragement!
