SALT LAKE City – Every Wednesday in Lent, Barbara Granja has made her way to downtown Salt Lake City. Rain or shine, she spends an hour praying with other Catholics outside the metro Planned Parenthood Clinic. They usually pray the rosary, a novena or a litany, she said.
It’s something Granja, the Respect for Life ministry chair in her home parish of St. Thomas More, has done every spring and fall for the past seven years. She became involved with the semi-annual 40 Days for Life vigils after hearing about them from a friend. Granja has a particular affinity for the unborn for a special reason.
