40 Days for Life campaign

The 40 Days for Life campaign is a worldwide campaign to pray for the end of abortion. A key component is a prayer vigil held near abortion facilities to pray and witness for life. People are asked to gather in groups of at least two people to pray silently, daily, at the southwest corner of Queen and Bank streets, Ottawa, from Sept 23 to Nov 1, between 7 am and 5 pm.  Please keep the plight of the unborn in your prayers.

Your parish office is able provide you with the legal name for your own parish. However, most Archdiocesan parishes and programs can be designated in your Will as:

You may also consider the following clauses in your Will:

For your parish:

“To pay to (Legal Name of Parish) Roman Catholic Parish for its own use absolutely, the sum of (amount) dollars. I declare that the receipt of the person professing to be the Pastor or Parochial Administrator of the parish shall be sufficient discharge to my Trustee who need not see to the application thereof. I further direct that if the (Name of Parish) does not exist at the time of my death, this bequest shall be paid to the Parish’s successor, and if no such successor exists, then to an institution with similar objectives and goals.”
