Day Six: Sunday at the Vigil! / Local Outreach Opportunities

Sunday was a very blessed day at the vigil: with St. Rita Church providing much of the staffing power through the parish Legion of Mary and Knights of Columbus groups, as well as other parish members and local pro-lifers. Since both abortion facilities are closed on this day, we can focus on prayer and outreach, spreading the word about 40 Days for Life to passers-by and members of the community, and asking the good Lord to help us change hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life in Alexandria, VA.

Today we look ahead to several vigil slots that are open; we really need your help in filling these -- so that we have a full vigil roster and continuous lines for life throughout the days of the upcoming week. If you haven't already done so, please take a moment to view the schedule, and sign up for a weekly or a daily time slot for the duration of the campaign.

We also wanted you to know about several upcoming outreach events in our area (see list below). These events are not affiliated with 40 Days for Life, but we wanted you to be aware of them in case you are able to participate. If you're up for additional opportunities to spread the word about life locally, please see the list below:
