Weekly Prayer Vigil for Pre-born Children
Join members of the St. Olaf Respect Life Committee on Wednesdays to pray for pre-born children.
The "Wednesdays for Life" campaign provides an

Your prayerful presence may well be the inspiration a woman needs to consider keeping her baby
& source of love for these precious little ones. Call
