CHARLOTTE — The Vigil of the Two Hearts continued on First Friday, March 1, at St. Patrick Cathedral, with Father Joshua Voitus, pastor of St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Charlotte, offering the evening Mass and providing an inspirational homily on finding hope amid troubling new abortion laws in New York and other states. Later that evening during nocturnal Adoration, Deacon Tom McGahey from St. Mark Parish in Huntersville (pictured) led attendees in a Holy Hour of Reparation for the sins of abortion.
The all-night vigil is organized by the Carolina Pro-Life Action Network of Charlotte (C-PLAN), with the mission of praying for families, offering penance for sins, and the conversion of the country. The next vigil will be held starting at 8 p.m. Friday, April 5. For more information, go online to www.prolifecharlotte.org/two-hearts.
