We all know the Catholic Church has always opposed abortions. If you were wondering what you could do to help with this important issue, there is an opportunity. Our school is participating in 40 Days for Life, which is an organization that helps raise public awareness about abortions through prayer. If you are looking to participate, the group will be meeting during Lent at the Family Planning facility right here in Wausau
The first session of 40 Days for Life, in the fall, is now over. Those that attended know how helpful the program can be. While the first session was a success, it could have been a lot better in terms of attendance. Those who have attended already are encouraged to inform those who have not gone yet on what 40 Days for Life is all about.
The group goes out and prays publicly in front of clinics that offer aid for abortions such as the Family Planning facility. These sessions are very helpful in raising awareness against the abortion issue. Considering that abortion has been legal for years, this program has the potential to change people’s minds on abortion. However it is going to require a lot of help from the local community, as well as the Newman Catholic community.
Newman Catholic students especially can take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen themselves in their faith and make a real difference in the community and issue at hand. The more people that can show up each week, the better; everyone is invited to participate and is encouraged to bring friends, family, or whoever else you know that would be interested. Help raise awareness on abortion, make a difference, and participate in 40 Days for Life this coming Lenten season.
