Welcome to Fort Collins 40 Days for Life!
We will continue to join other 40 days for life participants around the globe fasting, praying and standing for life and offering help during the two 40 day prayer vigils but we will now HAVE A YEAR-ROUND PRESENCE WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY and SATURDAY 8-12! These are abortion days and your presence and prayers may mean the difference between life and death.
Sign up here http://www.40daysforlife.com/fortcollins & send this link to friends!
During the 40 day vigils we cover EVERY shift on the sidewalk. In years past I have covered all those that needed to be covered but with family health issues we need your help more than ever!
We encourage everyone to join us on the public sidewalk in front of the Fort Collins Planned Parenthood at 825 S Shields St. to pray for an hour a day, week, or however much time you have available. Please pray on the other side of the entrance from the person sidewalk counseling at the driveway and giving roses and resources to girls coming in as don’t want to overwhelm as they are unlikely to stop if there are too many people by the driveway.
The hardest days for me to get covered are Sundays -Wednesdays. I would love your help especially on these days!
There is free parking only in the visitor spots at St John xxIII parking lot. Or if you want to park anywhere there including behind subway contact me about who to send your license plate info to. ( you could get towed if you are not in a visitor spot or do not have your lisence on file with them),
During 40 Days Sept 24th- Nov 2nd you can park behind Subway at the top lot and not be towed!!
bathrooms, resources, and signs to use at St. John XXIII’s Catholic Church located at 1220 University Ave, Fort Collins, Colorado.
Please stand and peacefully pray on public sidewalk in front of the Plannned Parenthood (West side of Shields along the stone wall in front of the Planned Parenthood building). Do not trespass across the yellow line or on thier property.
Do not engage with any counter protesters who come to yell and get angry. Please do not bring “murder signs”. It only draws the girls we want to help away. Thank you!
If you are interested in sidewalk counseling (giving resources and help to girls coming to Planned Parenthood) please go check out the training offered at http://www.40daysforlife.com/sidewalkoutreachapplication
Tips:
1. Be careful not to trespass on the private property. This includes the driveway and parking lot.
2. When offering information to passers-by, ask them for permission to do so. That is as easy as saying, “May I give you some free resources”.
3. If this is your first time out praying on the sidewalk, the best time to “learn” the ropes is with others so let us know when you want to come with someone experienced and we will set it up!
Thank you for participating in Fort Collins 40 Days for Life. God will bless you for standing up to protect the most vulnerable of our society.

Why? The recent Supreme Court overturning of Roe V Dobbs, which stated that abortion is not a fundamental right of the US Constitution and turned the decision of abortion over to the states to decide, has the abortion industry and supporters in a frantic frenzy to further enculturate abortion in schools, media, business, legislation and the Church.
Over the past years, the abortion industry in Colorado and their legislative supporters have aggressively doubled down to enshrine abortion into Colorado law and take away parental rights with the Reproductive Health Equity Act (RHEA), and multiple other legislation despite hundreds of hours or protest from prolife constituents and legislators. The Colorado abortion industry is determined to make Colorado a destination abortion state. Fundraising efforts and Public Companies are paying travel expenses for women to have an abortion in Colorado.
Fort Collins Planned Parenthood has increased their surgical and medical abortion services. Greeley Planned Parenthood provides referrals for surgical abortions and medical abortion services. Over 60% of abortions are medical abortions. The abortion industry has infiltrated our schools and is indoctrinating our children to feed their coffers.
In June 2022, the City of Fort Collins Board voted in a Resolution to make Fort Collins a (Pro) Abortion Sanctuary City, despite the majority present who spoke against.
We as Christians, parents, US Citizens, and those who believe life begins at conception must take a stance to protect our children, grandchildren, and the unborn children. We must protect women, men and families who are being manipulated and commoditized by the abortion industry and legislators.
We must repent and turn back to God to ask for His mercy, grace and conversion of hardened hearts during this time of child sacrifice. We must not allow these atrocities to continue in our cities. Churches must take a stand and encourage parishioners to support women in pregnancy by knowing and offering options for all circumstances. God always provides a way, if we look to him in faith, hope and prayer.
How to help and get involved
We need ALL prayer warriors on the public sidewalk in front of Fort Collins or Greeley Planned Parenthood every hour vigil hour
