All are invited to participate in Bishop James Conley’s annual Eucharistic procession outside the Planned Parenthood abortion location in Lincoln Tuesday, April 15, at 2 p.m.
Bishop Conley will also lead the stations of the cross outside Planned Parenthood on Good Friday, April 18, at noon.
Parking is available at Cornerstone Christian Church, 4849 Old Cheney Rd., Lincoln.
Participants at each event pray peacefully for an end to abortion, and for mercy and consolation for all affected by abortion.
In a 2018 column about the processions outside Planned Parenthood, Bishop Conley wrote: “Legally protected abortion is our national shame. Abortion has taken the lives of millions of children and has scarred the lives of millions of women and men. There is no moral justification for abortion, and no circumstance under which it should be afforded the protection of law—period.
“I have sat with men and women who are overcome with the shame, guilt, and depression that abortion often triggers. I have seen them held captive by those burdens and have then witnessed them being set free by the awesome power of God’s mercy. I know, through faith, reason, and experience, that the sin of abortion has very gravely wounded our nation. I grieve for women and men suffering its effects, and I mourn for babies killed before they were born,” he said.
