31st Annual National Night of Prayer for Life / Noche Nacional Anual de Oración por la Vida
Location(s): St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church (Chapel), 110 Saint Gabriel Way, McKinney 75071
This National Night of Prayer encourages Eucharistic Adoration from 9:00 p.m. on December 8 (Tuesday) to 1:00 a.m. on December 9 (Wednesday), uniting the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and the Feast of St. Juan Diego.
Dec 8 is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and Dec 9 is the Feast of San Juan Diego. Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patroness of the unborn, so the time following the 7:00 pm Mass and Dec 9 has been chosen for the 31st Annual National Night of Prayer for Life Adoration.
It was on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception in 1531, (then celebrated on December 9th), that Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas and the Unborn, first appeared to St. Juan Diego. The National Night of Prayer for Life bridges these two feasts to honor Our Blessed Mother and urges prayer through her intercession for the establishment of a Culture of Life, protection for the Church from persecution, and revival of our land.
During the 11:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. hour, parishes in all times zones in the United States will be praying together in the “hour of unity.”
Currently participating parishes in the Diocese of Dallas include following (please contact the parishes to confirm times and location):
