    40 Days for Life
    Saint Agnes will be participating in the upcoming Lenten 40 Days for Life campaign in Boston!  40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that draws attention to the evils of abortion through the use of prayer and fasting, prayer vigil, and community outreach.  40 Days for Life takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families.  The 40-day campaign parallels Biblical history, where God used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities… and the entire world. From Noah in the flood to Moses on the mountain to the disciples after Christ’s resurrection, it is clear that God sees the transformative value of His people accepting and meeting a 40-day challenge.

    Please join Saint Agnes Parishioners for Life as we participate in 40 Days for Life this Lent. The kick-off prayer vigil will be Wednesday, February 18th at 3:00 pm outside Planned Parenthood, 1055 Commonwealth Ave., Boston.  Saint Agnes will be leading a rosary hour each Sunday afternoon from 2:00-3:00 pm at Planned Parenthood in Boston during the campaign starting Sunday, February 22nd. For carpooling, we will meet at 1:30 pm in the public parking lot adjacent to Saint Agnes church. If you have any questions, please e-mail Eileen Cahill (SAParishforLife [at] gmail.com).
