YOU can help save lives!
This spring, from February 17 – March 28, our community will join the largest and longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history — the 40 Days for Life campaign.
40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life effort that consists of:
•40 days of prayer and fasting
•40 days of peaceful vigil
•40 days of community outreach
We are praying that, with God’s help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in our city — and throughout America.

Take a stand for life
While all aspects of 40 Days for Life are crucial in our effort to end abortion, the most visible component is the peaceful prayer vigil outside the local abortion planned parenthood facility. We will be holding the vigil Monday – Saturday, 7:00 am – 7:00 pm.

You can help make a life-saving impact by joining our local vigil at:
Planned Parenthood
451 East St. Germain Street, Suite 100
St. Cloud, Minnesota

DIRECTIONS: Located in the East Gate building, across from Pan-O-Gold Baking. This is one-half block east of the intersection of Wilson Avenue and East St. Germain Street in St. Cloud’s east side business district.

PARKING: Do NOT use the parking lot; it is private property and cars could be towed. Park on adjacent streets, or one block south of Planned Parenthood (next to St. Augustine Church) and walk to the vigil site.

Sign up to participate in our local 40 Days for Life vigil by clicking the “Vigil Schedule” link at the top of this page or contact our Vigil Coordinator, Sandy at sands43@mywdo.com. Together we can make a difference!
