9 Days for Life | January 16 – 24

On January 22 our nation will mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal throughout the U.S.

Since that tragic decision, more than 56 million children’s lives have been lost to abortion, and many suffer that loss — often in silence.

Join thousands of Catholics across the country in prayer for a Culture of Life from January 16, 2025 – January 24,  2025.

Pray with us the 9 Days for Life is a novena for the protection of human life. Each day’s intention is accompanied by a short reflection and suggested actions to help build a culture of life. 

During this period of prayer, penance, and pilgrimage (Jan. 16-24), Catholics are encouraged to participate in local events such as Masses, blessings for pro-life pilgrims, or a parish holy hour for reparation and healing for all affected by abortion. For more information visit www.9daysforlife.com and www.usccb.org/respectlife .

The 198 crosses displayed on the lawn just outside the Parish Life Center represent the 198 abortions that occur daily in the state of Florida alone.  Please pray for mothers and fathers in crisis and support them through our baby bottle drive.  We don’t want to make abortion merely illegal; we want to make abortion unthinkable.


“A great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world. Through special initiatives and in daily prayer, may an impassioned plea rise to God, the Creator and lover of life, from every Christian community, from every group and association, from every family, and from the heart of every believer.” – Evangelium vitae, 100
