Pro-Life and Pro-Family Events in Auckland and Across New Zealand

40 Days for Life saving lives

Looking for pro-life events in Auckland or around New Zealand? Want to take action to protect life, defend marriage and the family, and stand for truth?

Family Life International New Zealand hosts pro-life, pro-family, and faith-based events throughout the year that equip, encourage and mobilise ordinary people to make an extraordinary impact.

Most events are based in Auckland, but we also organise pro-life initiatives and talks across the country. Whether you are new to the pro-life movement or ready to deepen your involvement, there is a place for you.

Our activities are rooted in prayer, education, and service. Together, we work to build a culture that values every human life from conception to natural death and promotes marriage and the family.

A group of young men from the Mother of Divine Mercy group, wearing matching 'March for Life' t-shirts, enthusiastically participate in the National March for Life (New Zealand). One man stands in front, passionately addressing the crowd with a microphone, while others support him, clapping and showing excitement.

The National March for Life began in 2017 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the passing of the Contraception, Sterilisation and Abortion Act, 1977 on December 16 of that year.
  • Weekly Prayer and Witness for the Unborn near abortion facilities.
  • 40 Days for Life in New Zealand – peaceful vigils and a call to prayer and fasting to protect all human life from conception and to end abortion.
  • Pro-life training and leadership events to equip life and family advocates and volunteers.
  • Conferences and seminars featuring respected international and New Zealand speakers.
  • LifeFest Youth Events – equipping and encouraging youth.
  • Masses and special prayer gatherings for life and family.

New Zealand needs people who are willing to pray, stand up, and take action. Every person who attends an event helps strengthen the movement for life and family and encourages others to do the same.

Whether you are new to the pro-life movement or have been involved for years, you are welcome!
