2025 Spring Campaign

March 5 - April 13

89 Days and counting...

Bless the Lord, my soul; all my being, bless His holy name! The Lord has set His throne in heaven; His dominion extends over all. Bless the Lord, all you His angels, mighty in strength, acting at His behest, obedient to His command. Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, His ministers who carry out His will. Bless the Lord, all His creatures, everywhere in His domain. Bless the LORD, my soul!

Psalm 103:1,19-22

The 40 Days For Life National Team held a webcast recently and made several major announcements. The known results of the recently completed 2024 Fall Campaign were released and are simply amazing! 40 Days for Life was conducted in 703 cities making the 2024 fall campaign the biggest ever! Three more abortion workers were converted and quit the abortion industry! Two more abortion facilities closed! Finally, 425 babies lives were spared from abortion including the 3 babies in our campaigns!

PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD!

The cumulative results since 2007 are:

• 25,250 babies lives spared from abortion!

Over the years, there have been dozens of ambulances dispatched to Preterm for complications as a result of botched surgical abortions. I received a report, documented with pictures and a video, from 40 Days for Life supporters, Fred, Mike and Judy, regarding an ambulance arriving at Preterm at 1:55pm on Wednesday, November 20. The EMS crew loaded a patient into the ambulance and left at 2:07 pm. Thank you to all of our faithful supporters for holding the abortion industry in Cleveland accountable through our prayer, sacrifices, and presence.

PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD!

The Solanus Casey Project of Cleveland is active in the 40 Days for Life Campaign here in Cleveland and they are collecting donations to distribute to local residents near Preterm. You can drop off lightly worn coats, sweat shirts, hoodies, as well as new gloves and hats, at the Padre Pio Academy - 12920 Madison Ave - Lakewood - 44107, between 9 am - 3 pm on school days through January 10.

Two retired Cleveland Priests, Fr. Tom Haren and Fr. Dennis Kristancic, have launched a pro-life billboard campaign and have contracts for 30 billboards throughout the 8 counties comprising the Cleveland Diocese. They are calling this billboard campaign The Divine Mercy of Jesus Project. Fr. Haren and Fr. Kristancic have been involved in the pro-life movement in Cleveland for many years and actively pray in front of abortion facilities. They have enough funds to keep the billboards running through January. If you are interested in donating to the project kindly make your check out to Eagle Advertising and mail to Fr. Tom Haren - 6912 Chestnut Road - Independence, OH - 44131.

PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD!
