CHARLOTTE — A small but faithful group of pro-life volunteers gathered Nov. 3 in front of the Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Charlotte to pray for an end to abortion and to mark the conclusion of the autumn 40 Days for Life campaign.
Prayers were led by Father Peter Ascik, director of the diocese’s Family Life Office.
Attendees also heard remarks from Hank Chardos, director of Birthright of Charlotte, a local pregnancy care center, on how it helps expectant moms in need.
