CHARLOTTE — The St. Patrick Cathedral Respect Life Ministry and the Catholic Pro-Life Action Network (C-PLAN) of Charlotte are teaming up to offer a special prayer vigil Saturday, Oct. 6, to inaugurate Respect Life Month.
The prayer vigil will be led by Fr. Christopher Bond, parochial vicar at the cathedral, at the conclusion of the Vigil of the Two Hearts at St. Patrick Cathedral.
The Vigil of the Two Hearts, which links the Friday devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the First Saturday devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, offers an opportunity to pray for the strengthening of families, offer reparation for the sins of our nation, and pray for its conversion.
When the Vigil of the Two Hearts concludes with Mass at 8 a.m. Saturday, join the prayer vigil outside Preferred Women’s Health Center at 3220 Latrobe Dr. – Charlotte’s busiest abortion mill.
Come out to pray for the unborn, the weakest and most vulnerable among us, and for the conversion of the women who turn to abortion instead of choosing life. May we show by our words and actions that every human life is cherished and chosen by God.
