40 Days for Life Prayer Vigil
March 2 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

40 Days for Life is an internationally coordinated 40-day campaign that aims to end abortion locally through prayer and fasting, community outreach, and a peaceful all-day vigil in front of abortion businesses.
It is a peaceful and educational presence. Those who are called to stand witness during this 24-hour-a-day presence send a powerful message to the community about the tragic reality of abortion.
We invite you to come join members of our Respect Life Committee as we cover a two hour shift at Planned Parenthood (35 Sixth Street, Stamford). ALL are invited … we would love the presence of young adults and teens with parents!
If anyone wishes to carpool – note it in the comments and we will connect with others who are driving!
All participants must abide by the Statement of Peace:
By signing up to participate in the vigil, you agree to abide by this Statement of Peace:
- I will pursue only peaceful, prayerful and lawful solutions to the violence of abortion by supporting life from natural conception to natural death
- I will show compassion and reflect Christ’s love to all
- I will not intentionally cause harm or commit crimes or violence
- I am in no way, directly or indirectly, associated with any abortion provider including Planned Parenthood
While participating in a 40 Days for Life activity:
- I will not obstruct or block driveways, sidewalks, roadways or any lawful passage
- I will not litter, deface, damage or trespass on another’s property
- I will closely attend to any minors in my care
- I will not threaten, curse, yell at or verbally abuse anyone
- I will neither commit any act of violence, threaten or touch any person, nor display or discuss weapons
- I will be polite and cooperative with law enforcement and valid civil authority
- If asked to leave by a valid authority, I will comply and contact 40 Days for Life HQ
- I will not advocate for or against any candidate for elective office, any proposed or actual legislation, or any ballot initiative
I will strive to maintain the safety of myself and others by:
- Trying to have at least two vigil participants on site at a time and never being alone after dark
- Holding vigil in a safe, public and lawful location
- Immediately calling and cooperating with law enforcement and recording any incident if I feel unsafe or if any act of violence or damage is made or threatened
- Leaving and calling law enforcement if I feel threatened or endangered
