40 Days for Lent - Make the Committment

In the Fall of 2007, a small group of people in Scranton participated in a prayer vigil to end abortion. By the end of 40 days, that small number had grown to nearly 100 with a core group who pledged to continue to pray for an end to abortion.

Our prayer vigil site is in front of Planned Parenthood, 316 Penn Ave. Scranton, Pa.
This Lent we hope to cover their hours of operation approximately 9:30 to 4:00 Monday through Saturday. If you are interested in scheduling an hour or more of prayer, please call Donna Davis 348-5011 or e-mail lifeissues@hotmail.com with your prayer pledge. Please note whether you will be praying at the prayer vigil site, or from home or your church and leave your name e-mail and phone number so we can contact you.

Our prayer vigil begins Wed. Feb. 6. Please go to the www.40daysforlife.com to sign up on the official campaign web site so that you can read and sign the pledge and receive daily prayers and scripture reflections.

A Mass to pray for the success of Scranton's 40 Days for Life Prayer Vigil to end abortion will be held on Thursday, February 7th at 7:00 p.m. at St. Peter's cathedral in Scranton. All are welcome.

This blog is for Scranton Prayer Vigil news. I prefer to use this method rather than the web site provided as I find web sites frustrating. I am familiar with blogging and do not have the time to learn something new. Please pray for my daughters and granddaughter who are sick. It has been a difficult winter so far.
