HELP SAVE LIVES IN SALT LAKE CITY!
~
What is 40 Days for Life?  
It is a 40-day campaign that aims to end abortion locally through prayer & fasting, peaceful hourly vigils, and community outreach. Although the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Dobbs v. Jackson that the Constitution has no provision for abortion; sadly in Utah, elective abortions are still being conducted.
~
Why 40 Days?  Throughout Biblical history, God has used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities, and nations...
* Noah was transformed by 40 days of rain.
* Moses was transformed by 40 days on Mount Sinai
* David was transformed by Goliath's 40 day challenge
~~
How can I get involved?  Prayer & Fasting: Ask for 40 Days Devotional Booklets (E-mail Contact below).
~
Peaceful Vigils: Sign-up for one hour a week on the website (below) to pray with a buddy for the end of abortion.  We value your time and effort, so if you can't commit weekly, just show up when you can (with a buddy). 
~~
Vigil Location: Outside Planned Parenthood Metro, 160 S. 1000 East 84102
~~
Vigil Hours: Between 7am – 7pm, Monday-Sunday starting Wed. March 5 through Sun.  April 13th.
~~
Community Outreach: Show your support. E-mail requests for Yard signs and Bumper stickers. We deliver.

What are the Knights of Columbus?

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic men’s fraternal benefit society that was formed to render financial aid to members and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works. Imagine being part of an organization that fills your heart and your mind with the joy of giving to others and the feeling that comes with making a difference. Knights are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, who are committed to making their community a better place, while supporting their Church. Being a Knight is more than camaraderie; it is being involved with your community; it is supporting your local Catholic Church, while enhancing your own faith; it is about protecting and enhancing your family life. Please contact us for more information about becoming a Knight!
