40 Days for Life takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families. It puts into action a desire to cooperate with God in the carrying out of His plan for the end of abortion in America. 40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that draws attention to the evil of abortion through the use of a three-point program.

Life Chain is a peaceful and prayerful public witness of pro-life Americans standing for one hour praying for our nation and for an end to abortion. It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community. Together, we acknowledge that abortion kills children and that the Church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception.

Each January near the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion, Bishop Olson celebrates our diocesan Respect Life Mass at St. Patrick Cathedral in downtown Fort Worth. In remembrance of the millions of preborn babies that have died since January 22, 1973, a candlelight procession begins this beautiful Liturgy. All are invited to attend.
