Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Raleigh Diocese will speak at the kickoff rally of 40 Days for Life on Thursday. The rally will be held at 8 a.m. near the corner of U.S. Highway 15-501 and Sage Road in Chapel Hill.
The bishop will be showing his support for life at all ages, said Joe Stavas, spokesman for 40 Days for Life in Chapel Hill.
40 Days for Life, a pro-life campaign involving prayer, fasting and peaceful vigils, was started in College Station, Texas, in 2004 and has spread to hundreds of other communities. This campaign will last from Feb. 22 through April 1.
