SWANNANOA — A small but fervent group of pro-life activists braved frigid temperatures and a late winter snow storm to attend a regional Respect Life Mass March 12 at St. Margaret Mary Church.
Mass was offered by the pastor, Father Brian Becker, who preached on the importance of sharing the Gospel with abortion minded women.
After Mass, the group traveled to the Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Asheville for prayers.
Amid snow showers, icy roads, and blustery winds, the group prayed the rosary for an end to abortion and conversion of abortion-minded women.
The event was organized by the Carolina Pro-Life Action Network (C-PLAN) of Western NC.
