ARDEN — More than 30 faithful from across western North Carolina traveled to St. Barnabas Church March 1 to attend the annual WNC Respect Life Mass.
Father Adrian Porras, pastor, preached that all humanity is made in the image and likeness of God, and he encouraged attendees to promote the Gospel of life, pray outside abortion facilities and counsel mothers in need.
A reception was followed by peaceful prayer at the Planned Parenthood facility in Asheville. The event, held just before the start of the 40 Days for Life spring campaign, was organized by the Carolina Pro-Life Action Network of Western NC.
