Dear Fr Pearce,
Our 40 Days for Life campaign ended last month. I am writing to thank you for your support in promoting the campaign and attach a report on the campaign.
Worldwide 779 babies and their mothers are known to have been saved from abortion through the campaign. Also 3 abortion workers were led to become pro-life and leave their jobs.
There are many encounters that have taken place during campaigns with post abortive men and women and there are many Catholics who have had or have been involved in abortions. As a follow on from our 40 Days for Life campaign it is planned to have a talk by Rachel of Rachel’s Vineyard UK. Rachel’s Vineyard run reconciliation and healing retreats for women and men who have been involved in abortion. https://www.rachelsvineyard.org.uk/
The talk is to be in Wheeler hall on Wednesday 8th December starting at 6:30pm.
Please would you publicise this in your church bulletin /newsletter. I give a suggested notice below
