Each month since January 2000, the Archdiocese of St. Louis has held a pro-life Mass & Rosary on the third Saturday established in St. Louis in January 2000, is a peaceful, prayerful life-saving ministry that meets on the third Saturday of every month.

The prayer vigil begins with Saturday morning Mass followed by the Holy Rosary. The four-fold prayer of each Mass and Rosary is for upholding the dignity of preborn children; for moms, couples, and families facing unplanned pregnancy; for those caught up in the abortion industry; and for those wounded by abortion to receive healing. If your parish would like to host one of our prayer events in 2024 or 2025, please contact madeleineappelbaum@archstl.org or 314.792.7598.
