National Night of Prayer for Life Dec. 8-9

Parishes throughout the archdiocese will participate in the annual National Night of Prayer for Life Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 8-9.

Participants pray for an end to abortion and all offenses against the dignity of the human person; to make reparation for those sins; and for healing for those who suffer because of them.
