40 Days for Life spring campaign is on Feb. 18-March 29 in Indy, North Vernon

Criterion staff report

While Indiana and several other states have strengthened pro-life laws, there is still a great need for prayer to end all abortion and to change the hearts of those associated with the industry.

40 Days for Life is a campaign of prayer, fasting and peaceful activism held in the spring and fall with the purpose of turning hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life and bringing an end to abortion.

The spring campaign runs from Feb. 18-March 29. Two locations in the archdiocese are participating: Indianapolis and North Vernon.

Following is information on the two campaigns.
 

North Vernon: The campaign will take place at North Vernon Park, 604 N. State Street.
