40 Days for Life Fall Campaign
The campaign runs until Sunday, November 2. Some good news - the Abortion Clinic at 10401 Old Georgetown Road has closed. The bad news is that it moved to 5454 Wisconsin Avenue, 13th Floor, Chevy Chase, Md. They are still performing late term abortions. A group is meeting on Saturdays at 10 am to pray the rosary outside of the building. All are invited to attend. You may also pray at the Potomac Family Planning Clinic at 966 Hungerford Drive, Rockville, MD on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Angel Friend Volunteers Needed for the
Gabriel Project Cluster of Montgomery County
Want to put your pro-life beliefs into action? You could support the Gabriel Project Cluster, Montgomery County, MD. We need women to be Angel Friends to pregnant moms and men to deliver and assemble cribs. We want our little ones to have a safe place to sleep. Some recent volunteers are husband-and-wife teams. In 2024, over 400 moms requested our help, and through the generosity of many people, we provided 248 new cribs and many other baby and children’s items.
