Sidewalk Counseling Information Seminar: Get the Basics on Defending Life

SPACE IS LIMITED. PLEASE REGISTER AT THE LINK BELOW.

Do you feel called to get more involved in pro-life work, but don’t know where to start?

The Sidewalk Counseling Information Seminar is being sponsored by C-PLAN of Charlotte (Carolina Pro-Life Action Network of Charlotte).  Its purpose is to educate, inform, and equip Catholics on how to be effective and prayerful witnesses at our local Charlotte abortion facilities, as well as ways to be more involved with the needs and ministries of the growing pro-life work in Charlotte.

The seminar will be presented by a team of our local sidewalk counseling veterans and will open with a short talk on spiritual warfare on the sidewalk by Fr. Jason Barone.

For those who would like to attend Mass, it begins at 8am in the church followed by a First Saturday rosary. The seminar will begin immediately after at 9:15am. Light snacks and drinks will be provided.

A $5 CASH donation is appreciated upon arrival to help cover the cost of materials that all attendees will receive.
