On Going: Protest at Providence Park Hospital every Tuesday! Hope to see you this Tuesday, Oct. 7th at Providence Park Hospital from 4:30 to 6 pm on the corner of Beck & Grand River Roads. Parking info below.
Our community is currently participating in 40 Days for Life that began on Sept. 26th and will conclude on Sunday, Nov. 2, which is a groundbreaking, coordinated international mobilization. We pray that, with God’s help, this will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in Ann Arbor — and beyond. The campaign consists of three components, prayer and fasting, community outreach and holding a forty day prayer vigil.
The primary goal of our Ann Arbor 40 Days for Life campaign is to have at least 12 hours a day filled with prayer volunteers at the peaceful vigil site, outside of the Planned Parenthood abortion facility at 3100 Professional Drive in Ann Arbor. Ideally, we would like to fill all 24 hours, so we still need YOU! Please sign up and register online at http://40daysforlife.com/annarbor and sign up for an hour or two this week. Please note that the 40DFL website has been updates, so everyone will need to sign up and register for the Ann Arbor campaign.
We have shown proven results. Since our 1st campaign in 2007, the number of children killed by abortion annually in Washtenaw County has dropped by an average of 168 lives per year when compared to the previous 9 year average. Working and praying together, we can save more babies from abortion and spare more mothers and fathers a lifetime of agony and regret.
For more info, please contact Sandie Weathers, Campaign Director, 40 Days For Life Ann Arbor at 40daysforlifeannarbor@gmail.com or 734-657-1936. I look forward to hearing from you!

Blessings from our Initial SAFL Campaign:
- Excellent advice on how to lovingly reach out to abortion-minded women and men
- We have seen more hours covered during the time between 40 Days for Life campaigns than ever before
- With more people at the site and equipped with our SAFL techniques, we have had more people stop to talk to us and more literature has been given out than ever before.
- We had one occasion to mention Abby Johnson's ATTWN website (abortionworker.org) to the dad of a Planned Parenthood employee who admitted that she is looking to get out.

Father Tom Wasilewski to lead Eucharistic Procession to Planned
Parenthood in Ann Arbor!
On Saturday, November 1st, you are invited to gather in the pews of St.
Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, in Ann Arbor to participate in a peaceful,
public procession of the Eucharist, lead by Father
Tom Wasilewski, Parochial Vicar at St.
Francis, through the streets of the city to the cul-de-sac of Planned
Parenthood, as a witness of faith and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, and
the belief in the Catholic doctrine that Jesus Christ is truly present in the
consecrated host. We will begin with prayer in
the church, located at 2250 East
Stadium Blvd at 11:00 am before
processing to the Planned Parenthood abortion facility at 3100 Professional Dr.
The mile and a third journey will include a
time for silent reflection, the recitation of the rosary, praise and worship
and benediction. The Ann Arbor 40 Days For Life team, along with the St.
Francis Pro-Life Committee invite the community, young and old alike, to pray
for healing, forgiveness and mercy for all victims of abortion including mothers
and fathers who very often suffer deep grief and regret over a choice they can
never reverse. You are invited to join your voice with others in the
community, as we speak for the least of God’s people, a voice for the
voiceless, as we pray for the end of legalized abortion and to make abortion
unthinkable. All are invited to join us.
In case of bad weather, there will be Eucharistic Adoration with praise and worship from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon in the church. For additional info contact Sandie Weathers at 40daysforlifeannarbor@gmail.com or call 734-657-1936. Visit our FB events page: https://www.facebook.com/events/569109533190678/
