CHARLOTTE — The Vigil of the Two Hearts marked its four-year anniversary with a first Friday Mass at St. Patrick Cathedral Sept. 3. Father Joshua Voitus, pastor of St. Vincent De Paul Church in Charlotte, offered the Mass and preached on efforts to end abortion.
He was assisted by St. Vincent De Paul Parish’s Deacon Ruben Tamayo, who also led the Holy Hour of Reparation after Mass to begin the nocturnal Eucharistic Adoration.
The Vigil of the Two Hearts is offered each first Friday evening overnight through first Saturday morning at the cathedral to honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary devotions, while praying for the end of abortion, for families, and for the country’s conversion back to God.
The event is organized by the Carolina Pro-Life Action Network of Charlotte (C-PLAN). For more information, contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or go online to www.prolifecharlotte.org/two-hearts.
