Show GalleryFaithful across the Diocese of Charlotte gathered on Sunday, Oct. 4, to kick off Respect Life Month and form “Life Chains” as a public witness for the dignity of all human life, from conception to natural death.
Due to COVID-19, the Life Chain has two official dates: Oct. 4 and Sunday, Nov. 1.
Many Life Chains will be standing on alternative dates. Check with your parish for more information.

Participants will be standing 20 feet apart, as has been done since 1987.
