Ireland is facing its most critical challenge in keeping their nation abortion free as pro-abortion legislation is moving forward quickly in the Irish Parliament.

This prayer walk is a reprisal of a walk Rev. Mahoney did 23 years ago seeking God to end sectarian violence in that country between Catholics and Protestants.

Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, states:

    "As Ireland faces its greatest challenge toward keeping their nation abortion free, it is critical that the pro-life and faith community passionately and urgently seek God in prayer.

    "The greatest resource for bringing about social change and protecting human rights and justice is prayer.  Through prayer, we can see God shift and shape history and keep Ireland abortion free.

    "Through technology, we will be able to have people from around the world join us in prayer 'live' from Ireland.  This  'Prayer Event' will unite the pro-life community in a way we have never seen before and people will be able to stand with Ireland from their homes, churches, schools and places of employment.

    "23 years ago I held a similar prayer walk asking God to bring and end to the sectarian violence in Ireland.  We are so thankful for the amazing results we have seen in that regard.

    "On May 11-18, I will be praying and asking God keep the violence of abortion out of Ireland and to ensure human rights, equality and justice for all."
