Day of Prayer and Penance for Unborn Children

A Prayer Service for Forgiveness and Healing will be offered Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. at the Cathedral of St. Mary, Fargo. The prayer service is being held in observance of the liturgical Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children, marking the 48th anniversary of legalization of abortion in our nation. In addition to this time of prayer, the faithful are encouraged to do some form of fasting or self- denial for the healing of our nation from the effects of abortion on families, our culture, and society.
