Roman is taking part in 40 Days for Life for the first time ... and yes, it's cold there!

The first day of the campaign, one of the team members said, dozens of faithful Christians turned out to launch the vigil ? despite the weather. "Brrrr! Today we passed the test of the cold!"

The chill has not discouraged them from praying together for the lives of the unborn. "The missionaries of life are on duty," the team member said, "no matter the weather outside! They do not abandon their mission."

It always helps, of course, when more volunteers arrive with hot tea.
