Del Rio 2016
Life Chain
On October
30, Amistad Pregnancy Care Center sponsored the 2016 Del Rio Life Chain which was
held from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in front of the Del Rio Civic Center situated
along the major business thoroughfare of the city - Veteran’s Blvd.
At 2:30 p.m.
before the start of the 2016 Life Chain event, The Legion of Mary of the Del
Rio Catholic Faith Community sponsored the Bilingual Pro-Life Rosary;
alternating decades prayed in English led by Araceli Faz from Sacred Heart
Catholic Church and in Spanish led by Maria Rosales from Our Lady of Guadalupe
Church.
Approximately
100 attended the 2016 Del Rio Life Chain which is a peaceful and prayerful
public witness of pro-life Americans standing for one hour of prayer for our
nation and for an end to abortion.
It is a powerful visual statement of
solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children and that the
Church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception until
natural death.
