Pro-life Catholic vigils this month in Maidstone and Stratford

Catholic readers will be interested in the two vigils detailed below this month in Maidstone and Stratford organised by the Helpers of God's Precious Infants. The Helpers say:

"Please join us – you really do make all the difference. And don’t forget, please try to bring someone with you. For those of you who are unable to join the procession, please be with us spiritually.

'A great prayer for life is urgently needed…prayer and fasting are the first and most effective weapons against the forces of evil.’

Pope John Paul II, The Gospel of Life, p.100"

We are an international pro-life group founded by Msgr. Philip Reilly on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, 1989. Our main apostolate is prayer vigils at abortion facilities and our Spiritual Directors are Msgr. Reilly and the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. Our Lady of Guadalupe is our Patroness and is also the Protectress of Life.

Our trained pavement counsellors are available to speak with those who are considering abortion or to offer healing to those who have had abortions, to evangelise and most importantly are supported by prayer groups at the sites.

Seven Cardinals and over 100 Bishops participate world-wide, including: Bishops Thomas McMahon (Brentwood), John Hine (Southwark), Arthur Roche (formerly Leeds) and Alan Hopes (formerly Westminster).

The spirituality of the Helpers is one of solidarity with Jesus in the person of the unborn child: "Whatever you do for the least of these my brethren, you do for Me." Matt.25:40
