40 Days for Life — Fall Campaign Begins This Wednesday
The 2026 Fall 40 Days for Life campaign is here — and New Hampshire is part of a worldwide movement of prayerful witness outside abortion facilities. This fall, the Manchester campaign will hold a vigil from 7 am to 7 pm on the public sidewalk outside Planned Parenthood at 24 Pennacook St., Manchester, from September 23 through November 1.
The Kickoff Rally is this Sunday, September 20, at 2 pm at Immaculate Conception Parish, 216 East Dunstable Rd, Nashua. Guest speaker: Dick Kiernan, co-founder of the Whole Life Gospel Alliance, whose mission is to affirm the value of all life from conception to natural death. All are welcome.

Alan Tremblay, the new pastor of Parish of the Assumption in Dover, and Gabriel Dionisi, New England Regional Coordinator for Students for Life.
