Friday September 20: Beaverton 40 Days for Life Vigil.
6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. at Planned Parenthood, SW 1st and Betts, Beaverton.
With Vicar General, Father Peter Smith
The 40 Days for Life campaign is the largest and longest coordinated
pro-life mobilization. It is a focused respect-life effort that consists
of 40 days of prayer and fasting, and 40 days of peaceful vigils.
Why You Want to Attend: From the first moment of his
existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a
person-among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to
life... Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an
end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law. Catechism of the Catholic Church 2270, 2271, 2272
Opening Prayer Vigil of 40 Days for Life:
FRIDAY, SEPT. 27th, 6:30 pm with Archbishop Sample
FRIDAY, SEPT. 27th, 6:30 pm with Archbishop Sample
We're excited to announce that Archbishop Alexander Sample will lead us in prayer, and Dr. Arthur Henry (40 DFL participant) and Students for Life Rebekah Barnes will also be speaking.
This prayer vigil / opening event will be at the Planned Parenthood at 3231 SE 50th (and SE Franklin St, 2 blocks N. of Powell)
Join us on the sidewalk for uplifting prayer, inspiring speeches, sign-ups to stand vigil and pray during the 40 days, and more!
Please share this email with all of your friends THANK YOU...
WE NEED YOU ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, TOO!
