Notes

As pro-lifers, we know that unborn babies need us to be a physical witness for them, and the opportunity to do so is right around the corner.

The 40 Days for Life Spring Campaign will begin on Wednesday, March 5th, and run through April 13th!

From 7 AM to 7 PM, we will pray for 40 consecutive days, becoming a visible sign to protect life.

"Even in the midst of difficulties and uncertainties, every person sincerely open to truth and goodness can, by the light of reason and the hidden action of grace, come to recognize in the natural law written in the heart (cf. Rom 2:14-15) the sacred value of human life from its very beginning until its end, and can affirm the right of every human being to have this primary good respected to the highest degree. Upon the recognition of this right, every human community and the political community itself are founded." -Evangelium Vitae; St. John Paul II

                                                                        God Bless you always!

WHAT WE DO

We conduct a Silent & Praying campaign 50 meters from the abortion facility at Dufferin & Lawrence, specifically in the last parking spot of St. Charles Borromeo Church.

HOW WE DO IT

We hold a peaceful vigil, praying at the location while holding signs with encouraging messages to help mothers choose life. We have a network of pro-life organizations ready to assist those facing physical or emotional challenges due to abortion.
