40 Days for Life spring campaign is on March 5-April 13 in Indy, North Vernon

Criterion staff report

While Indiana and several other states have strengthened pro-life laws, there is still a great need for prayer to end all abortion and to change the hearts of those associated with the industry.

40 Days for Life is a campaign of prayer, fasting and peaceful activism held in the spring and fall with the purpose of turning hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life and bringing an end to abortion.

The spring campaign runs from March 5-April 13. Two locations in the archdiocese are participating: Indianapolis and North Vernon.

Following is information on the North Vernon and Indianapolis campaigns.

North Vernon: The campaign will take place near the CVS and Walgreen’s stores at 14 N. State St. Both pharmacies provide and sell the drugs used in chemical abortions, which is now the most common form of abortion.

To sign up for one or more hours, go to 40daysforlife.com/en/northvernon.

For more information, contact Tim O’Donnell at 317-372-0040 or idipsumsapere@att.net.

Indianapolis: The campaign will take place in front of the Planned Parenthood facility at 8590 Georgetown Road. Parking is available along Georgetown Road; do not park in the Women’s Care Center parking lot or at the industrial complex across from the Planned Parenthood facility.

The Indianapolis campaign’s opening event will include a prayer service and rosary for life in front of the facility at 3 p.m. on March 5.

The Indiana Knights of Columbus will hold a 12-hour overnight vigil in front of the Planned Parenthood facility starting at 6 p.m. on April 4. All are welcome to join for a few minutes, an hour or more.
