To help the Nuns Against Gun Violence demonstrate the breadth of this movement, please complete their commitment form at bit.ly/LentenFastCommitment.

They will inaugurate the fast with an opening Ash Wednesday Prayer Service on Wednesday, March 5 at 11 a.m. ET on Zoom and YouTube. Register at bit.ly/NAGV-Ash-Wed.
