Archdiocesan Pro-Life Mass & Rosary

Each month since January 2000, the Archdiocese of St. Louis has held a pro-life Mass & Rosary on the third Saturday. The prayer vigil, held either at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis or a host parish, includes Saturday morning Mass and the Holy Rosary prayed either before or after Mass.

The four-fold prayer of each monthly pro-life prayer event is for: upholding the dignity of preborn children; moms, couples, and families facing unexpected pregnancy; those caught up in the abortion industry to embrace the Gospel of Life; and those wounded by abortion to receive healing. If your parish would like to host one of our prayer events in 2026, please contact madeleineappelbaum@archstl.org or 314.792.7598.

The Archdiocesan Respect Life Apostolate invites you to join us in peaceful prayer and witness outside the St. Louis abortion facility (4251 Forest Park Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63108) at the First Saturday Rosary for Life on July 5. We will meet at 9:30 a.m. on the sidewalk with additional prayer, hospitality, and refreshments at Our Lady of Guadalupe Covent right after. We appreciate the Salesian Sisters of Mary Immaculate for their generous welcome, and Canon Benjamin Coggeshall (St. Francis de Sales Oratory) for leading us in prayer.

You’re encouraged to carpool, park along Boyle, and be aware that this is a high-traffic, carefully monitored area. If you can’t join us in person, please unite with us in prayer from wherever you are. Contact prolife@archstl.org or 314.792.7555 for additional information
