Lenten 40 Days for Life | February 14 - March 24

The 40 Days for Life’s Lenten campaign, the international peaceful prayer movement that has saved at least 24,239 lives since 2007 (and prompted 148 abortion Centers have closed and 256 abortion workers to quit) begins again on Ash Wednesday, February 14. 

Once again we will be joining with Saint Mark's parishioners and friends in the community to participate in the 40 Days for Life's Spring Lenten Campaign. 

Join us in daily prayer, fasting, and outreach wherever you are during this important campaign.

Please watch this important eight-minute video from Shawn Carney, one of the founders of the life-saving 40 Days for Life campaign.

We have created a Sign-Up Genius to help volunteers commit to an hour of prayer (or more) at Planned Parenthood on two of the 40 Days, but we encourage you all to pray daily for an end to abortion, which ends countless innocent lives and hurts both women and men, physically, emotionally and especially spiritually. 

Please prayerfully consider signing up for an hour or more of prayer at Planned Parenthood, stand in the gap for those who are vulnerable.  


Daily Lenten Rosary | Monday and Wednesday-Friday

All are invited to join in the Rosary for Life after the 8:15am weekday Masses.

On Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we will continue to pray for the Culture of Life to be returned to our nation and the world. Your own intentions are welcome each day to be added to the group prayer.

(Tuesdays’ rosary will continue to be offered for the Grandparents’ ministry and their heart for the next generation.)
