The Archdiocese of Hartford will again participate in the national 40 Days for Life Campaign with Archbishop Henry J. Mansell's approval and support. Last year's campaign saved 18 babies from abortion at the Hartford GYN Center and this year we hope to increase the number.
Every parish and pro-life representative in the Archdiocese has been sent a letter announcing the campaign and explaining the commitment. Since this is the second year for Archdiocesan participation, we anticipate even greater enthusiasm and results. As last year, each parish will hold 24 hours of Eucharistic Adoration and 12 hours of prayer vigil at the abortion clinic in Hartford. Details concerning registering for the campaign will be discussed with each parish.
With abortion rights being expanded in our country, it is critical to publicly express concern for the protection of innocent, unborn life. Who is more vulnerable than the defenseless child in the womb?
