CHARLOTTE — With the country awaiting the U.S. Supreme Court’s upcoming decision reexamining the constitutionality of abortion, people attended the Vigil of the Two Hearts pro-life devotion May 6 at St. Patrick Cathedral to pray for an end to abortion.
Father Ernest Nebangongnjoh, parochial vicar, offered the monthly Mass for the end of abortion and after Mass exposed the Blessed Sacrament for Nocturnal Adoration.
Additionally, Deacon John Kopfle from St. Vincent de Paul Church in Charlotte offered a Holy Hour of Reparation for the end of abortion.
The Vigil of the Two Hearts is offered each first Friday evening, continuing in Nocturnal Adoration through first Saturday morning at the cathedral to honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary devotions, all while praying for the end of abortion, strength for families, and for the country’s conversion back to God.
The event is organized by the Carolina Pro-Life Action Network of Charlotte (C-PLAN). For more information, contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or go online to www.prolifecharlotte.org/two-hearts.
