What is 40 Days for Life?
Twice a year, Christians of every denomination, in hundreds of cities around the world, devote 40 consecutive days to prayer and fasting for an end to abortion, and hold a peaceful vigil near a facility where abortions are committed. Since 2007, the international organization reports more than 26,000 children saved.
In Quebec, the campaign takes place during Lent, alternating between Montreal and Sherbrooke.
Prayer and fasting
The heart of the campaign. Everyone can take part, at the vigil, at home or at church.
A peaceful vigil
A peaceful, visible presence, every day, near a facility where abortions are committed.
Community outreach

Until Lent begins

- Set aside one hour a week during the 40 days, at the vigil or in prayer at home.
- Invite a friend or your community to join you.
