The Ottawa 40 Days for Life Prayer Vigil drew to a close with the Closing Rally on Sunday, November 2 at 6:00 p.m. at the Vigil Site, 84 Bank St., Southwest corner of Queen and Bank. 

We begin with a song and a prayer, followed by a candlelight procession to St. Patrick’s Basilica Scavi for a brief program and light refreshments. 

 

Although the vigil has ended, our prayers continue—for an end to abortion, for mothers and fathers who have experienced abortion, for expectant mothers considering abortion, for abortion workers, and for all whose lives have been touched by abortion.
