I have asked each priest of the diocese to do the same and to challenge you to follow his example.”The bishop has already scheduled a personal time of prayer. “I will be at the abortion facility on Sept. 28 at 10:30 a.m.” he writes.According to their website, the "40 Days for Life" campaign is planning its next forty days from September 26 through November 4.
