40 Days for Life is a pro-life campaign which uses a three-point program:
Prayer and Fasting, Prayer Vigil, and Community Outreach to raise awareness about the evils of abortion, so that abortion will end, and respect for life will increase.
A 40 Days for Life Rally will kick off the campaign on September 23 at 6:00 PM at Windsor and Caledonia Sts. outside St. James the Less Church
1032 Caledonia Street, La Crosse, WI 54603
Prayer and Fasting involves praying daily for the end of abortion, the change of hearts, and the protection of pre-born babies. Fasting is a sacrifice that increases our focus on God and our awareness of the evils of abortion. It can be a fasting from food, T.V., gossip, computer time, etc.
Prayer Vigil is continuous prayer from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the designated sites during the 40 days. People can sign up for times that work best for them to witness by their prayerful presence at these sites; you may also just show up at the site and join the people who are there praying.
This year's campaign has three sites:
Caledonia and St. Paul's St. on the North side of La Crosse from September 24th - October 6th;
La Crosse and 4th St. from Oct. 7 - Oct 20:
Green Bay St. and South Ave., from Oct 21 - Nov. 1.
Community Outreach includes placing 40 Days for Life signs in your yard, sharing pamphlets and brochures with others, and calling people to invite them to participate in the 40 Days for Life.
How you can get involved: The foundation of the campaign is national prayer and fasting. Join us in this campaign to raise awareness and end abortion through private Prayer and Fasting in your own life or with a church or community group. Sign up to participate in the Vigil- choose a time that works for you and invite others to join us. Receive and distribute free prayer aids and brochures, and post 40 Days for Life signs in your yard or business (suggested donation for signs is $5).
