The goal of Sidewalk Ministry is the conversion of hearts – focusing on the soul of the mother seeking an abortion and offering her support and encouragement to choose life. Our prayer vigils are prayerful, peaceful, and pastoral. Signs should not be brought to the vigil unless they are approved and offer help.
