Promoting the Dignity of Human Life

40 Days for Life

During Lent and from September 24 to November 2, St. Ambrose parishioners participate in the 40 Days for LIfe campaign to end abortion.  You are invited to join us for prayer between 7am and 7pm in front of the Metropolitan Family Planning Clinic, 5915 Greenbelt Road, College Park, MD.

40 Days for LIfe is a peaceful, prayerful, - and proven effective - pro-life campaign. Therefore, particpants will be required to sign a Statement of Peace indicating their acceptance of the intent to pursue peaceful solutions to the violence of abortion.

The Lent 2016 campaign will kickoff on Ash Wednesday, February 10, 2016 and conclude on March 20, 2016. To sign up for times to pray, visit http://www.40DaysForLife.com/collegepark
