Please enjoy these photos from our closing ceremonies on Day 40. Thanks to all who made 40 Days for Life possible, and for all who took part in our Jericho March and Eucharistic Procession and Mass! Special thanks to His Excellency Bishop Waltersheid for bringing Jesus to Planned Parenthood!
We began at 3:30 with a Jericho March around Planned Parenthood, led by Pastor Joe Stump!
At 5:00 Our Lord Arrived, carried by Bishop Waltersheid!

It was a beautiful evening! Warm, with a full moon in the sky above!

Coming Home…
Thank you to everyone who took part in our 40 Days for Life closing ceremonies, and to all who came to our vigil to pray and witness…to all those who prayed from home and to everyone who fasted during these 40 days! We entrust our individual lives, as well as our nation to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and to his mother’s Immaculate Heart and ask them to bring about a restoration of faith and morals to our nation on this election day!
Please also say a prayer for our pro-life community’s beloved Bob Newman, who is likely in his last days here on earth. It has been requested to pray a prayer to St. Joseph for him. Bob, along with dear Sally and Al Brunn laid the foundation for our 40 Days for Life, by their 30 year commitment to praying and witnessing in front of Planned Parenthood…even when there was not an organized group. They were there every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday…year round…for many years. I pray that Bob will soon get to hear those words that we all long to hear…”Well done, good and faithful servant!” St. Joseph, pray for Bob.
God bless you all my dear pro-life brothers and sisters! I hope to see you again during our Lenten campaign, which begins on February 22nd. May God bless you and keep you safe!
With love in Jesus and Mary,
Nikki
All I can say is thank you Nikki for your commitment to 40 days for Life. May you be blessed a hundredfold for defending babies in the womb and assisting moms and dads too! Your reward is great! Sr. Jolenta
