Pro-Life

We believe everyone is made in the image and likeness of God, and that “life comes from God; it is His gift, His image and imprint[...]” (Pope St. John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae).

Yet today, we see this gift of life undermined by legalized abortion, euthanasia, contraception, aborted fetal cell research, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), and other emerging bioethical threats that prevent or prematurely end innocent human life – especially in North Carolina, which is an abortion destination state (Asheville alone has seen a 197.6% increase in out-of-state abortion patients since 2022).

We take up Pope St. John Paul II’s charge to “defend and promote life, to show reverence and love for it” and to mobilize local Catholics to the effort of upholding the sanctity of human life.

We do this through our programs, Carolina Pro-Life Action Network (C-PLAN) which helps to activate Catholics to participate in pro-life initiatives at their parishes and in their community; Catholic Health Professionals of Charlotte (CHPC) which assists Catholic healthcare workers in bringing the Church’s teaching on life back into the fields of medicine and science; and the monthly prayer devotion Vigil of the Two Hearts, which prays for an end to abortion.

New pro-life laws are needed, but also are the conversion of hearts and minds of our neighbors. This can be done through the mobilization of Catholic laity through educational seminars, awareness campaigns, public square events, and prayer vigils.

The Carolina Family Coalition can’t do this alone and we need you to join us in activating Catholics and others of good will to help defend the sanctity of life in our local communities.

“What is urgently called for is a general mobilization of consciences and a united ethical effort to activate a great campaign in support of life. All together, we must build a…culture of life.”

– Pope St. John Paul II Evangelium Vitae (1995)
