Prince George 40 Days for Life Campaign Update
Prince George’s first 40 Days for Life officially started March 5 at 12:00am! There were 14 people in attendance to brave the -18 degree cold. We had a surprise visit from Bishop Jensen! Father Pier and Bishop Jensen led us in prayer and gave us a great start to 40 Days for Life! The campaign is from March 5 – April 13th. We are holding the Vigil from 6am to 11pm each day. We have many spaces filled but we could use a lot more participants! It’s lonely out there at times! Let’s all show Prince George that we have respect for all life.
God bless you all and keep us in your prayers, Tony Donovan
P.S. Joe Haddock was our first volunteer for the Vigil. He stood for 3 hours in -23 degree weather! Very impressive Joe.
2. Diocesan Summit, April 26, 2014 – Whatsoever You Do…
A Diocesan Summit is being held on April 26, 2014 in conjunction with the Diocesan Youth Conference for all involved in efforts to defend life and promote the development of every person. The title of the half-day event is “Whatsoever you do…” – a reference to Our Lord’s parable in Matthew 25 about the need to see each person as His brother or sister. Invitations from the Bishop have been mailed to diocesan organizations who may wish to set up a table at the Conference. Parishes are asked to post the attached poster and invitation and place the information in parish bulletins. Thank you!
