Dozens of Ave Maria residents and students joined at least 100 people who gathered and prayed peacefully Monday outside Planned Parenthood in Naples to protest the start of abortion services at the facility.
About 20 people left in carpools from Ave Maria after the 7:30 Mass, joined by others later in the day. Earlier, a number of students from Ave Maria University held a prayer vigil starting at midnight. (At right, AMU student Christy Soboleski - photo by Naples Daily News)
