WINSTON-SALEM — More than 50 parishioners and visitors attended a special Triad-area Pro-Life Mass Oct. 18 at St. Benedict the Moor Church.
The Mass, in commemoration of Respect Life Month, was celebrated by Father Melchesideck Yumo, parochial administrator, who offered a bilingual homily on the importance of protecting the sanctity of life.
Afterward, attendees traveled to the Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Winston-Salem to peacefully pray a rosary. The Salem Pregnancy Care Center, located across the street and supported by local Catholics and other Christian communities, offered a tour of its facility and described the services they provide to mothers in need.
The event was sponsored by the Carolina Pro-Life Action Network (C-PLAN) of the Triad, a local Catholic pro-life group.
