Catholic Madison

Vigil for Life announced Wednesday that it will hold its first ever 40 Days for Life Spring vigil at the Madison Surgery Center (1 S. Park Street) from February 17 to March 28.

Unlike previous 40 Days campaigns at Planned Parenthood, this vigil will not go overnight. It will begin each morning at 6 a.m. and run until 6 p.m. Signs will be allowed, but are not mandatory for participation.

"The Lord has staved off this abomination for a year now," said VFL's Laura Karlen. "It is our prayer and our hope that 40 Days of continuous prayer in front of the Madison Surgery Center can put a permanent end to these grisly plans."

Nearly 1,000 hour-long prayer shifts will need to be filled. To schedule prayer slots, click here or visit vigilforlife.org. If you encounter technical difficulties, you can contact Steve Karlen at 608-445-2063 to register for hours. [Printable flier].
