DIOCESE OF PALM
BEACH EVENTS FOR RESPECT LIFE MONTH
40 DAYS FOR LIFE
Over the past
three years, a handful of communities quietly conducted a
groundbreaking pro-life campaign called "40 Days for Life," creating
extraordinary results. This fall, the breakthrough 40 Days for
Life campaign is being rolled out nationwide. Some pro-life
leaders are saying that -- with God's help -- this effort could mark
the beginning of the end of abortion in
America.
The event takes place Sept. 26 - Nov. 4 and the purpose is to close
abortion clinics through the use of prayer. A local effort will take
place at Presidential Women's Center in West Palm Beach. Don
Kazimir, Respect Life Coordinator for the Diocese of Palm Beach
said, “Our Bishop is participating in order to encourage
Catholics in the
Palm Beach
Diocese to join in. It is another beautiful example of his
pro-life leadership.” Those who want to participate are asked to
please contact Don Kazimir, Respect Life Coordinator @ (561)
775-9565. Prayer will take place from 6:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Monday –
Saturday of the above dates and on Sunday from 3:00 p.m. – 5:00
p.m..Palm
Beach
is one of at least ninety cities around the United States where this
prayer action will take place. For more information on this project
