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.
