On July 5, Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney led a large group of Paterson Diocesan Catholics in praying, walking, and raising their voices for the most vulnerable during the monthly bilingual Mass and Rosary Procession for Life at St. Margaret of Scotland Parish in Morristown.
Bishop Sweeney celebrated Mass in St. Margaret’s, which was concelebrated by Father Duberney Villamizar, pastor of St. Margaret’s and diocesan vicar for Hispanic affairs, and Father Sebastian Munoz, the parish’s parochial vicar. The pro-life event included Eucharistic adoration.

After the Mass, Bishop Sweeney led congregants in a procession to Planned Parenthood on Speedwell Avenue. A few of them carried signs in English and Spanish that promoted respect for life as they prayed the rosary for an end to abortion.
A Mass and procession for life is held on the first Saturday of the month at 8 a.m. at St. Margaret’s. Priests and the faithful from around the diocese are invited to join.
