9 Days of Prayer, Penance, & Pilgrimage

On January 22nd, our nation will remember the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Since that tragic decision, more than 55 million children's lives have been lost to abortion, and the lives of millions of their parents and family members have been shattered.

The "Nine Days of Prayer, Penance and Pilgrimage" will take place January 19-27, 2013 as part of the bishops' recent call to prayer for the sake of renewing a culture of life, marriage, and religious liberty in our country. 

This time period, focusing on the theme of pilgrimage, includes the blessings of pilgrims, a novena, other simple prayers, youth activities and a closing Eucharistic Holy Hour.

Each day of the 9 Days Prayer, Penance, & Pilgrimage will  be sent
