All are invited to Nov. 27 Vigil for All Nascent Human Life
By Denver Catholic Register
Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., invites the faithful of northern Colorado to a Vigil for All Nascent Human Life at 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 27 at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, 1530 Logan St. in Denver.
Pope Benedict XVI has asked all Catholics worldwide to join him in prayer that day—the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, coinciding with first vespers of the First Sunday of Advent—to pray for the protection of every human life. He will lead a vigil at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
“We are to storm heaven for a return to a culture of life worldwide: all Catholic voices in unison on Nov. 27 praying with their bishops,” said Mimi Eckstein, director of the archdiocese’s Respect Life Office.
The Denver vigil will consist of exposition of the Blessed Sacrament with Evening Prayer, recitation of psalms, singing of Gospel Canticle, silent prayer and benediction. For more information contact the Respect Life Office at 303-715-3205 or e-mail RespectLife.Office@archden.org.
