HUNTERSVILLE — St. Mark Church’s Respect Life Ministry hosted a showing of the pro-life movie “Voiceless” Feb. 19 with more than 50 parishioners in attendance.

“Voiceless,” the story of an evangelical minister who rallies his church into opposing an abortion facility across the street, is designed to encourage churches to become active in praying in front of abortion facilities.

The parish’s Respect Life Ministry hosted the event to encourage participation in the 40 Days for Life spring campaign, which runs until April 9.
