September 22-October 31: 40 Days for Life takes place from September 22 to October 31. An internationally coordinated campaign that aims to end abortion through prayer and fasting, community outreach, and peaceful, all-day vigils with host sites in Portland, Bangor, and Houlton from September 22 to October 31. “40 Days for Life” is anchored with a 40-day prayer vigil outside abortion facilities. Those who are called to stand witness send a powerful message to the community about the tragic reality of abortion. It also serves as a call to repentance for those who work at the abortion center and those who patronize the facility.
