GREENSBORO — St. Pius X Parish will host a drive-through food drive and pet blessing from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 3, to benefit Greensboro Urban Ministry’s food pantry. Volunteers will accept donations of food from cars, while maintaining safe distancing measures.
The traffic pattern will go through the church parking lot and cloister, at the corner of Elm Street and Cornwallis Drive.
Bring your pet friend with you in the car and receive a special blessing from Monsignor Anthony Marcaccio, pastor.
Most needed food donations include: peanut butter, macaroni and cheese, canned fruits and vegetables and canned meats.
CHARLOTTE — The 8 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, traditional Latin Mass, a low Mass, will be offered to pray for an end to abortion.
Following Mass, prayers will be offered outside the Planned Parenthood abortion facility located nearby at 700 S. Torrence Road in Charlotte.
The Planned Parenthood location, which opened last summer, is the fourth abortion facility in Charlotte, where more abortions are performed than in any other city in North Carolina.
All are welcome to attend the Mass and the prayer vigil. For those who are unable to go to Planned Parenthood, Deacon Tom Sanctis will lead a Holy Hour of Reparation at St. Ann Church.
