Our Lady of GuadalupeUnited in prayer for life, family, and peace.
The National Night of Prayer for Life invites people across the nation and around the world to join in prayer, seeking the Blessed Mother’s intercession.
Each year, the vigil bridges the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and the feast of St. Juan Diego, recalling Our Lady of Guadalupe’s appearance to St. Juan Diego in 1531.
The purpose is to renew respect for life, strengthen the family and the Church, and inspire peace and courage throughout the nation.
