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.
