As part of the Archdiocesan 140 Prayer Days for Life Campaign to defeat the Missouri Abortion Ballot Initiative, the Respect Life Apostolate invites Missouri Catholics and other pro-life advocates to unite in prayer on the first Saturday of each month from now until the election (July 6, August 3, September 7, October 5, and November 2).

During First Saturday Prayer Campaign, the faithful, schools, groups, and parishes are invited to either:

1. Pray the Rosary on each of the five first Saturdays.
2. Or take part in the full First Saturday Devotion as revealed by Our Blessed Mother to St. Lucia in Fatima, Portugal (Holy Mass, Rosary, Sacrament of Reconciliation, and meditating on the Rosary’s mysteries for 15 minutes). Click here to learn more about the devotion.
