The 2015 Treasure Valley 40 Days of Life campaign will be outside Planned Parenthood in Meridian for the 40 days of Lent.
Fr. Flores is encouraging OLV parishioners and friends to sign up for the OLV hours (March 18 from 4 to 6p.m. and March 21 from 10a.m. to
noon).
We can gather at OLV and carpool or caravan together. Of course, you can contribute more hours if you have time or any other time if the OLV hours don't fit your schedule.
This is not a protest; there is not any screaming or marching.
We are not trained sidewalk counselors.
We don't try to prevent anyone from going into the facility.
We are simply there to offer a public prayerful witness.
We have been told how much it touches people to see us out there by drivers passing by, employees and neighbors. The public right-of-way (where we're allowed to stand) is actually behind the clinic entrance so we do not typically have any contact with anyone going in or out.
This website will provide directions, events coming up such as the Kick-off Rally and Midway Rally. Signing up is as simple as clicking "+ADD ME". As soon as you sign up, you’ll receive an email with instructions and contact information for questions. You must agree to a statement of peace.
A Kick-off Rally will be held on Sunday, February 15th at 7 p.m. at the Cloverdale Funeral Chapel (1200 N Cloverdale Rd, Boise, Idaho 83713). Snacks and drinks will be provided as well as practical instructions such as where to park when praying. Kay Painter (Remembering S.A.R.A.H.) will offer some wisdom and inspiration.
