Do you have an hour or so to spend in prayer outside the Planned Parenthood abortion facility at 44 Main Street, Danbury alongside a sidewalk advocate?
If you do, send an email to tai32@mail.com. They will put you in touch with the sidewalk advocates so you can set up a time to help them in their mission.

As Pope Francis stated in his 2021 address to Vatican Diplomats during the COVID Pandemic:
For each human person is an end in himself or herself, and never simply a means to be valued only for his or her usefulness. Persons are created to live together in families, communities and societies, where all are equal in dignity. Human rights derive from this dignity, as do human duties, like the responsibility to welcome and assist the poor, the sick, the excluded…If we deprive the weakest among us of the right to life, how can we effectively guarantee respect for every other right?[1]

The Sisters of Life and the McGrath Institute for Church Life teamed up with CampCampo Films to create an original 12-part video series based on the work of the Sisters serving women who are pregnant. Journey with the Sisters of Life as they explain what it means to walk with a woman who is pregnant and vulnerable. Learn what it means to deeply listen to and understand the heart of another, how to rejoice in the beauty of the individual person, and what it means to truly accompany someone into God’s life and freedom.
