Prayer Vigil to Witness to the Sanctity of Human Life and End Abortion
Now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, your prayers are needed more than ever. Montgomery County officials are actively promoting and supporting abortions. Women (and former abortionists) report that the prayers and presence of pro-life witnesses at abortion clinics dissuaded them from having an abortion.
Our parish will support the Spring 2025 40 Bethesda 40 Days for Life campaign this year by praying the rosary on the public sidewalk in front of the abortion facility at the Wildwood Medical Center, 10401 Old Georgetown Road, in Bethesda, each Saturday during Lent from Saturday, March 8, 2025 through April 12, 2023 from 10 am - 12 pm. What a great Lenten sacrifice to offer to God an hour of your time each week to witness to the sanctity of human life!! If Saturday’s do not work, you can sign up to pray at another time on the 40DFL website. https://www.40daysforlife.com/en/bethesda
40 Days for Life will have its Witness for Life event for all 40 Days for Life participants at the same location at 10 am on the first Saturday of each month. The next Witness for Life vigil will be on March 1, 2025.
Please do not go alone, but bring a friend with you. Please contact Deacon Rich at MeyerRS@adw.org or meet in the vestibule after the 9 am Mass on Saturdays, if you have questions or need help with directions. What could be more important than protecting the lives of innocent babies and their mothers from the devasting effects of abortion?
