You are invited to join the St. Joseph community for one hour of prayer on the sidewalk in front of the abortion clinic in Fairview Heights, IL as part of the 40 Days for Life prayer vigil run by the Coalition for Life. Our parish has adopted the day of October 21 to fill the sidewalk with pray-ers from 7 AM to 7 PM.  It takes courage to come out the first time, in visible support for the unborn, against the popular culture of today.  But if we don't, who will?  Women seeking abortions in Missouri are now sent across the river to Fairview Heights, IL.  Ilinois is now an abortion destination with over 46,500 abortions committed in 2019. 

We participate in this prayer vigil twice per year. Once during Lent, and the other in the fall. Please consider making a sacrifice of your time, and sign up for one hour.  There is a signup board in the back of church, or sign up online.  CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP OR FOR MORE INFORMATION.
