Quebec Life Coalition

A heartfelt thanks to all who participated in this spring's 40 Days for Life in Montreal!

Last Sunday's closing ceremony was a great success, but now we're faced with the daunting question:

What are we going to do the rest of the year?

First of all, there are chances that we are going to go forward with a fall 2010 40 Days for Life. But whether we go ahead with a second 40 Days this year depends on YOU.
 

Become a Core Member

We need dependable people who would be able to regularly attend the vigil every week, to form part of what we call the "core" team for the 40 Days. Core team members show up every week, show the "ropes" to the newcomers, and help foster a prayerful atmosphere at the vigil.

Do you feel called to be a core member of the 40 Days for Life? If you do, don't hesitate to give us a call at (514) 344-2686 or to email us.
 

Upcoming Events

Here are some other events / other ways to help build a culture of life in the coming year:

• The Ottawa March for Life will take place this year on Thursday, May 13 (see schedule). Mark that date on your calendar, get that day off work, but also remember to call us to get some flyers and posters to distribute to your church, parish, group, etc. 
• Quebec Life Coalition is organizing a bus or buses to the March for Life on May 13. Buses leave downtown Montreal (across the street from the train station) at 7am. If you want a ride, please email us or call. Cost of the ticket will be around 30$ round-trip.
• Cégep and high school teachers: The March for Life has a very significant educational component. Firstly, there's a youth banquet the evening of the March (May 13), and the next day there's an all-day Youth Conference (which last year was attended by about 600 students from 15-25). For more information, don't hesitate to call or write.
• Triduum for Life: Like last year, during the 2 days preceding the March for Life in Ottawa, there will be a series of pro-life talks and events in Montreal. More to come, soon!
• Finally, and most excitingly for us here at QLC, on May 15 (international day of the family) QLC will be hosting its annual conference on life and the family. We've lined up some great guests, and this year the event will be held in Quebec City. More details to follow.

And, oh, here are some pictures of last Sunday's 40 Days for Life closing ceremony -- bye for now!
