To mark the fourth National Day of Prayer to End Abortion on April 13, both of the archdiocese’s 40 Days for Life campaign efforts will host an hour-long candlelight prayer vigil.

In Bloomington, the vigil will take place from 3-4 p.m. outside of the Planned Parenthood abortion facility at 421 S. College Ave. For more information, contact Monica Siefker at monica.siefker@gmail.com.
