Pro-life advocates around the Diocese of Camden came together for numerous Life Chains on Oct. 1, the beginning of Respect Life Month.
The pro-life ministry at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, Absecon, and Knights of Columbus Villa Marie Council 6342 planted 800 pink and blue flags to represent the estimated 2,500 babies lost to abortion each day. The display will be in place for the full month of October. (Courtesy photo)More than 40 people gather with signs promoting life at Riverview Beach Park in Pennsville. Coordinated by the Knights of Columbus, this Salem County event has been held every year since the 1980s. (Courtesy event)
