CHARLOTTE — Members of Juventutem, a new young adults group centered around the Extraordinary Form (Latin) Mass organized a rosary vigil outside Planned Parenthood in Charlotte Jan. 11.
The event was to pray for an end to abortion in anticipation of the 47th anniversary of Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, which legalized abortion in 1973.
Juventutem will host a talk Wednesday, Feb. 5, with Father Joseph Matlak, pastor of St. Basil the Great Ukrainian Parish, about the Eastern Rite liturgies. The evening begins with a 6 p.m. Latin
Mass at St. Ann Church in Charlotte followed by a presentation at 7 p.m. in the parish’s Allen Center. The event is free with food and drink provided.
Juventutem is focused on growing in holiness through the spirituality of the Latin Mass and related traditions and is open to all Catholic young adults aged 18 to 35, and newcomers are welcome.
