USCCB: 9 Days for Life-Prayer-Penance-Pilgrimage

Do You Want a Quick and Easy Way to Encourage Others to Follow Pope Francis’s Example?

*Invite those whom you serve in ministry to participate in 9 Days for Life!
They can sign up at www.9daysforlife.com and find other creative ideas for participating on this web page.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops invites you to join and share 9 Days for Life, a period of focused prayer and action from Saturday, January 16, 2016–Sunday, January 24, 2016.

Download a free app (iTunes / GooglePlay) or a printable version of the novena, or sign up for daily e-mail or text messages at www.9daysforlife.com—or join on Facebook! Each day focuses on a different aspect of respecting each other’s God-given dignity—from the beginning of life to the end of life.

We also invite you to share the experience with others:
• Use the short announcements, promotional images, or pdf flyer (see below) in your newsletter, bulletin, or other communications.

• Utilize the social media kit, and encourage others to share on social media why they’re participating, using the hashtag #9DaysforLife and tagging @USCCB if they’re posting on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. (The USCCB will select from the best posts to share!)

• Encourage participants to gather friends and family for prayer, discussion, and group activities.

A leaders’ kit (with resources in both English and Spanish) includes many other tools for simple and quick ways to help others answer Pope Francis’s call to stand for life.
