CANDLELIGHT VIGIL 2026
May 13 @ 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Wednesday, May 13th
9:00 pm EDT at the Human Rights Monument, Ottawa
Mass at 7:30 pm at St. Theresa Church (95 Somerset St W) before the Candlelight Vigil
The Candlelight Vigil is typically held the evening before the march and rally. It provides an opportunity to pray for abortion-minded women and anyone experiencing a crisis pregnancy, post-abortive mothers and fathers, abortion workers, and politicians. We pray for the end to abortion and that the lives of all human beings will be respected and protected from conception to natural death.
This year’s Candlelight Vigil will feature prayers, testimonials, and live music.
EWTN Global Catholic Network will have live coverage of the Candlelight Vigil for Victims of Abortion on Wednesday, May 13 at 9 pm EDT.
Following the Candlelight Vigil, there will be a Eucharistic Holy Hour at St. Theresa Church (95 Somerset St W) from 10-11pm.
