Faithful of the Paterson Diocese, N.J., proclaimed in English and Spanish, “Jesus Protects and Saves the Unborn,” as they walked the streets of Morristown in prayer on June 6 during the Monthly Mass and Procession for Life with Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney at St. Margaret of Scotland Church, also in Morristown. Participants reasserted their commitment to the dignity of all human life, from birth to natural death.
Before the procession, Bishop Sweeney celebrated Mass at St. Margaret’s. Father Duberney Villamizar, pastor of St. Margaret’s, concelebrated, and Deacon Tim Holden of the parish assisted.
Afterward, Bishop Sweeney led the faithful in a rosary procession down Speedwell Avenue to Planned Parenthood, where they prayed in front of the facility for an end to abortion.
Many carried signs with pro-life messages in English and Spanish, such as “Jesus Protects and Saves the Unborn.” The marchers then returned to St. Margaret’s, where they prayed before the Blessed Sacrament.
Everyone is welcome to join the Mass and Procession for Life with Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney, which takes place on the first Saturday of each month at 8 a.m. at St. Margaret’s.
