CHARLOTTE — Despite the distractions of graduations, Mother’s Day preparations and beautiful May weather, more than 60 people sacrificed their Saturday afternoon to attend a special Mass for Ireland at St. Patrick Cathedral May 12.
Father Christopher Roux, rector, offered the Mass to pray for the Irish people as they vote on whether to retain or repeal Ireland’s 8th Amendment which protects the unborn. In his homily, Father Roux encouraged the faithful to act as their brother’s keeper and show solidarity with the Irish people who face this troubling referendum May 25.
He also exhorted everyone to ask their friends and family to pray for Ireland, and especially pray the rosary daily, as recommended by Our Lady of Fatima. The Mass was organized jointly by the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Catholic Pro-Life Action Network of Charlotte.
