Life Chain Sunday is an opportunity for pro-life advocates across the U.S. and Canada to unite together in prayer. The peaceful and public witness will take place across South Carolina on Oct. 6, when participants will stand in silent protest, holding signs and praying for the nation to end abortion.
Life Chains with alternate dates are noted. For additional information, contact Kathy Schmugge, director of the Diocese of Charleston’s Office of Family Life at 803-547-5063.
