Stations of the Cross close 40 Days for Life

Today at noon Stations of the Cross were prayed outside the abortion site in Bellevue. Led by Deacon Gary Bash, the prayer finished the spring campaign of prayer and witness against abortion.

Praying for Life

Even in the morning mist, some of our parishioners were praying outside the abortion site in Bellevue. From 8 a.m. this morning until 8 a.m. tomorrow (Sunday) morning, some of our parishioners will be there praying. It is all part of 40 Days for Life.

You are welcome to come pray with us.

40 Days for Life

During 40 Days for Life people have been praying outside of abortion centers across the country, including many of our parishioners praying outside of this one in Bellevue. So far, we've received reports of 469 babies whose lives have been spared from abortion -- that we know of! That number includes this story in Bellevue:

A lone prayer volunteer watched as a mother and daughter left the abortion center, got into their car and drove towards the exit.

When they got to where the vigil participant was standing, they stopped. The daughter help up a sonogram and said, "His feet were moving!"

The mother said her daughter was 12 weeks pregnant -- and the sonogram had convinced her to reject abortion.

40 Days for Life

Members of St. Columbkille Parish took one of the 40 Days for life praying in vigil for 24 hours outside the abortion site in Bellevue.

We thank everyone who put their faith in action.
