Night of Prayer

29th Annual National Night of Prayer for Life

Uniting the Feast of the Immaculate Conception with the Feast of St. Juan Diego Dec. 8th – Nationwide Hour of Unity – 10:00-11:00 PM

It was on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception in 1531, (then celebrated on December 9th), that Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas and the Unborn, first appeared to St. Juan Diego.  The National Night of Prayer for Life bridges these feasts.  All nations of the world are invited to participate, as we ask Our Blessed Mother to protect Life and the Family, renew the Church, and establish Peace. During the HOUR OF UNITY, we will be united in churches across the country in prayer to end abortion and to restore God's blessings of Life and Religious Liberty in America. The National Night of Prayer for Life includes adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the holy Rosary, prayer to St. Michael, silent prayer and hymns.
