Alexandria, VA
HOME: Welcome to 40 Days for Life

YOU can help save lives!  We need pray-ers!

Coverage is rather sparse the next few days of the vigil, so please consider prayerfully whether you might spend an hour (more or less) at the site.  Follow the instructions below to look at our vigil schedule for timeslots.  WE NEED YOUR PRAYERFUL PRESENCE!

If you would like to participate, please contact our coordinator, Heide Seward, at the email address/phone number below or click on the "Vigil Schedule" tab above to sign up for vigil hours.  We still have many hours to fill on most of the 40 Days, so please consider taking some time to come out and pray at the site.

This spring, from February 17 - March 28, our community will again be joining the largest and longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history -- the 40 Days for Life campaign.

40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life effort that consists of:

  • 40 days of prayer and fasting
  • 40 days of peaceful vigil
  • 40 days of community outreach

We are praying that, with God's help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in our city -- and throughout America.

Take a stand for life

While all aspects of 40 Days for Life are crucial in our effort to end abortion, the most visible component is the peaceful prayer vigil outside the local abortion (or Planned Parenthood) facility.

You can help make a life-saving impact by joining our local vigil at:

Annandale Women's Clinic & Gynecare Associates
Alexandria Medical & Professional Plaza
2839 Duke Street
Alexandria, VA  22314

Click here for a map of the site.

Access site is from the Duke Street service road which you can turn onto from Duke Street at Cambridge or West Taylor Run Parkway.  The site is just east of Bishop Ireton High School on the same side of the road.  

There is ample, unrestricted parking on West Taylor Run Parkway and a few 4 hour spaces on Longview Drive very close to the site (just west of the Bank of America).
