40 Days for Life is a nonconfrontational, 40-day, non-stop, round-the-clock prayer vigil outside a  Planned Parenthood center or  abortion facility.

The opening ceremony of the Rockland 40 Days of Life begins Wednesday, Sept. 24,  at 3 p.m. at the prayer site on Perlman Drive in Spring Valley on public property near the Planned Parenthood office.

At 5 p.m. each day, the vigil moves to Eucharistic Chapel of St. Gregory Barbarigo Church on Cinder Road in Garnerville, and continues through the night. In the morning, at 9 a.m., it resumes again on Perlman Drive. The last day is Sunday, Nov. 2.

Many volunteers are needed to maintain this peaceful and educational presence for 40 days. Your presence will send a powerful message to the community about the tragic reality of abortion. Please come and be the “voice” for the “voiceless.”
