This past Monday, members of the IHM community prayed at the 40 Days for Life compaign, a peaceful prayer vigil…and you know what..? WE witnessed an expectant couple walk away from the abortion facility and walk into the Prenancy Resource Center instead! Our presence and prayers at the facility do make a difference! Hope to see you this Sunday at 425 Cherry ST SE Grand Rapids.
