A ”Prayer Vigil for Life” will take place 1-3 p.m. Aug. 1 near the new Planned Parenthood clinic location on Centennial Boulevard in Colorado Springs. The clinic offers abortions among its crisis pregnancy services.
Attendees are advised to park in the King Soopers shopping center parking lot at the northwest corner of Centennial Blvd and Fillmore. Walk north up the sidewalk on the west side of Centennial. At the intersection of the private drive there will be red “Choose Life” hearts and Life Chain signs to borrow for the afternoon. Participants should stay on the Centennial sidewalk for the prayer vigil.
Organizers of the event are reminding participants that this is a quiet and peaceful prayer vigil, not a protest. The demeanor on the sidewalk should reflect a very prayerful attitude.
Parents are also advised to watch their children carefully, as Centennial is a busy road. Participants should bring a water bottle, sunscreen and a hat. Those who cannot stand for long should bring a lawn chair.

Thank you for your witness for life. I am a visitor to Colorado Springs and have prayed at the Old Colorado Planned Parenthood where I met Fr. Bill and participated in one of his sidewalk Masses. Thank you for posting the information about where to park and where to stand at this new location. I was there earlier today and was struck by the number of “Private Access for clients and customers only” signs. I am glad you were able to work it out with the city and pray that your efforts will change hearts, through God’s mercy.
