Oct 25, 2013 Upcoming Pro-Life Events for Washtenaw County and Beyond!

Partial list as of October 25th, 2013 Compiled by Sandie Weathers

Byzantine Catholic Pro-Life Activism – Akathist Hymn to the Mother of God!
As part of the 40 Days for Life fall campaign, join us on Saturday, October 26, 2013 at 11:30 am as we pray the Akathist Hymn to the Mother of God outside of the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic at 3100 Professional Drive in Ann Arbor.  For centuries, Eastern Christians, both Orthodox and Eastern Catholic, have prayed the Akathist Hymn to ask the intercession and protection of the Mother of God.  Therefore, it is the perfect prayer to use for the purpose of asking for the Blessed Virgin's assistance in defeating the culture of death.
