The past six months have presented Campagne Québec-Vie with numerous challenges to overcome. We organized our very first March for Life in Quebec City, beginning with reserving the venue and initiating contact with the authorities in December 2023. Following that, we conducted over twenty visits to churches and other gathering places to recruit participants for the March, often requiring significant travel.
We then prepared our website, Facebook pages, as well as print and email advertisements. A March is not just a one-day event; it sets in motion a series of meetings with interested groups, many of whom have committed to participating again. These visits enable us to appoint representatives from each group to better maintain our relationships. In fact, we are building an entire provincial pro-life organization from this "one-day" March.
We have started a process that will grow, God willing, and with your help!
We are now just five days away from the end of our Summer 2024 fundraising campaign. Thanks to our loyal benefactors, we have raised $2,812 so far. However, we still need to collect $7,188. Can you help us now with a donation? Thank you!
Next Challenge: 33+ Life Chains in Quebec
We want to immediately start developing the networks we have established and the contacts we have made. Our next major activity, in addition to the 40 Days for Life vigil this fall (you can learn more about this vigil by clicking here), will be the Life Chain. These thousands of one-hour mini-demonstrations for life and against abortion take place across North America on the first Sunday of October (this year, it will be on October 6, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM – locations to be determined). Last year, we organized 11 such demonstrations in Quebec. Thanks to our contacts from the March, we aim to triple this number of Life Chains to 33 (at least!).
This activity is held at hundreds of locations in Ontario and across Canada – we should certainly be able to organize 33, if not many more!
Enceinte et Inquiète: Taking it to the Next Level
We also plan to enhance our service for pregnant women in difficulty – Enceinte et Inquiète (Pregnant and Worried)– by potentially forming a first board of directors for this service. Over the months and years, several people, in addition to our dedicated colleague Brian Jenkins, responsible for Enceinte et Inquiète, have joined this cause. Some believe the time has come to take it to the next level. Stay tuned!
I am sending you this email because nothing we do can be accomplished without the generosity of our loyal benefactors. With only five days left in our Summer 2024 fundraising campaign, we still need to raise $7,188. Can you help us today? Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
God bless you,
