St. Basil the Great Catholic Church

You are cordially invited to join Christians across the country in 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion.  You are also invited to stand and peacefully pray during a 40-day vigil on the public right-of-way outside of Planned Parenthood, 303 Sacramento St, Vallejo, to help spread the word about this important community outreach.

The vigil will run each weekday, Monday - Friday, from 6am - 6pm. Local Catholic churches will devote one day a week.  St. Basil’s is assigned each Thursday.  We need volunteers to dedicate one hour each week*.
*for any day if Thursday is not good for you

Please prayerfully consider joining with your fellow parishioners in this important and inspiring campaign.

For more information, especially if you would like to volunteer, please contact: Nancy Cook (707) 373-8058 or Rosemary Mullane (707) 334-3837
