HENDERSONVILLE — Approximately 30 people took time from a busy fall morning to attend a special Respect Life Mass offered Nov 13 at Immaculate Conception Church.
Father Christian Cook, pastor, offered the Mass, giving a homily reminding the faithful that opposing abortion is a preeminent issue in the Church.
Father Cook also commemorated the feast of St. Frances Cabrini, and encouraged Mass-goers to invoke the intercession of the American saint to persevere in their pro-life advocacy.
After Mass, a rosary was said for the intention of ending abortion. The liturgy was organized by the Carolina Pro-Life Action Network (C-PLAN) of Western NC, a coalition of parish Respect Life coordinators and Catholic pro-life volunteers in the greater Asheville region.
