Prayer Vigil to Witness to the Sanctity of Human Life and End Abortion
40 Days for Life is a peaceful, coordinated national campaign to bring continuous prayer to local abortion clinics in more than 600 cities across the world. The Care Clinic’s late term abortion facility in Bethesda has moved to 5454 Wisconsin Avenue, Chevy Chase, MD. Our parish will support the Fall 2025 Chevy Chase 40 Days for Life campaign by praying the rosary on the public sidewalk in front of the Care Clinic at 5454 Wisconsin Avenue, Chevy Chase, each Saturday, Saturday, Sept. 24 through Nov. 1, 2025, from 10 am - 11 am.
The building is across the street from the Western Ave. exit of the Friendship Heights metro stop. Paid parking is available in the building at 5454 Wisconsin Ave., free parking at the nearby Amazon Fresh (4-minute walk), and there is plenty of inexpensive, street meter parking nearby. 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.
If Saturday’s do not work for you, you can sign up to pray at another time on the 40DFL website. https://www.40daysforlife.com/en/chevychase. Please contact Aldo & Mary Cardoza at 301-509-2372 or marycardoza826@gmail.com for more information.
What could be more important than protecting the lives of innocent babies and their mothers from the devasting effects of abortion? Women (and former abortionists) report that the prayers and presence of pro-life witnesses at abortion clinics dissuaded them from having an abortion.
Please support raise awareness to this issue and help save lives in Maryland by praying with us!
