USCCB MONTHLY INTERCESSIONS FOR LIFE January (English)   January (Spanish)   February (English)   February (Spanish)   PILGRIMAGE TO MARCH FOR LIFE 2012, Washington, DC Registration Form and Information The Pro-Life Ministry of the Archdiocese will make a prayerful pilgrimage to the national March for Life in Washington, DC. This is an opportunity to join hundreds of thousands of dedicated pro-life supporters in an event that proclaims the dignity of unborn human life. The majority of those marching are youth who understand the gravity of the Roe v. Wade decision and mourn the loss of 1/3 of their generation to abortion. Shocked and moved to action by this national travesty, they travel great distances to witness to life. They are our future! Buses will leave the Franciscan Life Center in Meriden at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, January 22 and return Monday night, January 23, 2012. Please view the registration form on this website for more details and call our office with questions (203.639.0833).   Fall Archdiocesan 40 Days for Life Campaign The Archdiocese completed the fall 40 Days for Life campaign on November 6, 2011, with a Red Rose Ceremony across the street from the Hartford GYN Center, the abortion clinic where the prayer was held that began on September 28. More than 90 churches participated in the campaign. During the fall campaign, 8 babies were saved from abortion and more may be reported. Include in this number are twins. The total for babies saved during Hartford’s 4 campaigns is now 50. The Pro-Life Ministry is grateful to all who prayed and fasted for 40 days but it is the mothers, fathers and babies who are most appreciative and will enjoy a life not scarred by abortion. Archbishop Henry J. Mansell’s strong encouragement of the campaign was noted in his letter to all Archdiocesan pastors, in his monthly Transcript letter, and by the many times he spoke publicly about the campaign.
