WORLD DAY AGAINST the DEATH PENALTY on October 10th | Join CANC for Prayer and Peaceful Protest in Raleigh

Advocates & Abolitionists! Join us for our annual observance of the World Day Against the Death Penalty. Last year’s event was well attended and appreciated, so we are grateful to be able to offer it again!

4:00 – 4:30PM

Starting in the CHAPEL at Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral, the rosary will be led by Paul Wilson, a charter member of Catholics for Abolition in North Carolina. Then a peaceful one-mile march – with your sign or one of ours – from the Cathedral to Central Prison at 1300 Western Blvd, Raleigh.

4:30 – 5:30PM

Join Nancy Jones and others, foregoing the prayer and march, outside of Central Prison at 1300 Western Blvd, Raleigh. We will be standing in peaceful protest and in solidarity with the 122 men and women on death row. If you plan on joining her at the prison or need info about parking, please reach out to Nancy through the Contact Page of this website.

Let your voice be heard, on this important day, to express your opposition to state-sanctioned killing here and around the world!

Thank you & God bless you!
