Abortion Clinic Outreach
Our Mission is to Love unconditionally.
Our Goal is to be a Witness to the Dignity of all life.
We are in a spiritual battle, not only for the lives of the unborn, but also for the souls of mothers, fathers, family members and the abortion clinic employees. Thus, we are offering our prayers and sacrifices in union with Our Mother Mary as she stands at the foot of the cross praying for mercy to be showered upon souls.
We do not wish to condemn or judge the women and men going in and out of the abortion facility. We want to be a presence of love. We are present to the women to offer life-giving choices along with practical help and emotional counseling.
Stand with Mary at the foot of the Cross

Give concrete action to your Pro-Life enthusiasm!
Pre/Post Clinic Advice:
Before you come to clinic it is important to go to Mass. Make sure you are well rested and that you have eaten. You will be standing for two hours in the elements. Come dressed for the weather, whether that is sunscreen, umbrellas, snow boots or parkas.
After Clinic, don't be afraid to share your experience with others. Sometimes clinic can be fulfilling and sometimes it can be draining. Sitting in front of the Blessed Sacrament is also very important because the spiritual battle is very real and it really helps to let the Lord wash away any evil you have encountered. Eat, drink and recharge after returning to campus.
