Our nation will mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal throughout the U.S. Since that tragic decision, more than 56 million children’s lives have been lost to abortion, and many suffer that loss — often in silence.
Days for Life is a “digital pilgrimage” of prayer and action focused on cherishing the gift of every person’s life. A multi-faceted novena highlighting a different prayer intention each day provides reflections, bonus information, and suggested actions.
Join thousands of Catholics across the country in prayer for a Culture of Life from January 14-22, 2019
