Hundreds of Catholics across the Diocese of Charlotte took to the streets after Mass Oct. 7 to publicly stand up for life.
Respect Life Sunday, which marks the start of the U.S. bishops' observance of Respect Life Month in October, brought people out to busy thoroughfares in the big cities as well as small towns to form “Life Chains” as a public witness for the dignity of all human life, from conception to natural death.
