Life prayer vigil. Join us for a complimentary lunch after the 11am Mass before we carpool to the vig-

il. Please consider spending time with us on the side-walk, praying for life! Here in Memphis, our prayers

and efforts through 40 Days for Life has led to almost 100 babies saved that we know of! If you have any

questions, please feel free to call Bridget at 628-3207. Invite your friends! We have a permit this

The visible, public centerpiece of 40 Days for Life Memphis is a consecutive 40 day, 12 hour prayer vigil outside

Planned Parenthood to offer love, help and hope to mothers and their unborn babies. As we pray, we assist the mothers

considering abortion - showing them love and offering resources so they know that they don't need to destroy their life or their baby's life. We are a witness to the sanctity of

life! The vigil goes from September 27th – November 4th, and people pray on the sidewalk in front of Planned

Parenthood from 6am to 6pm. Please join us for St. William's slot, but also sign up for additional hours if you
