This is St. Patrick's 7th year participating in this international campaign.  On Thursday, October 3rd, the parish will have Eucharistic Adoration (9:00am - 9:00pm) and concurrently participate in a peaceful prayer vigil across the street from the Hartford GYN Center (6:00am - 6:00pm).  The strength of this campaign is that during these 40 days, from September 25th to November 3rd, there occurs continuous prayer and Eucharistic adoration throughout the world in an effort to save the unborn, pray for the parents and their families, as well as all those affected by abortion.

The Pro-Life Ministry will be hosting a talk by the UConn Storrs Chapter of Students for Life on Sunday, October 6th at 12:30pm in the Church Hall.  The students will be discussing their transition to college life from high school and their experiences of being pro-life on a liberal arts college campus.  Attend to hear their stories of the challenges of establishing a Chapter to navigating the feelings of seeing your pro-life display vandalized.  Their stories are inspirational and encouraging.  An example of the next pro-life generation picking up the Torch of the Pro-Life Movement.  Question and answer period will follow.  For more information, please call Ed Gales at (860) 508-3035.

The Pro-Life Ministry educates and advocates for all life from the unborn to the aged. We try to create a Culture of Life through active programs and events, such as, baby showers; baby needs drives; participation in the March for Life in Washington. DC and in Hartford; participation in the annual Respect Life Month activities; participation in conventions; letter writing to politicians; a Mass for Life; Rosary for Life; fundraisers (such as the baby bottle drive) for local pro-life organizations such as the Crisis Pregnancy Center in Unionville, and St. Gerard's Center for Life in Hartford; advocating for the unborn at abortion clinics; and most importantly, through Prayer.
