CHARLOTTE — The Catholic Pro-Life Action Network of Charlotte (C-PLAN), a coalition of parish Respect Life ministries, hosted its 10th monthly Vigil of the Two Hearts June 1 at St. Patrick Cathedral.
Father David McCanless, parochial vicar, offered the First Friday Mass and Deacon Paul Bruck led the Holy Hour of Reparation. C-PLAN dedicated the intentions of both the Mass and Holy Hour in reparation for the decision by Irish voters the prior week to legalize abortion.
Organized around First Friday and First Saturday Masses and united by nocturnal Adoration, the vigil’s mission is to pray for families, offer penance for sins, and pray for the United States’ conversion back to God.
