Fargo Catholic Diocese Closes Fargo Prayer Chapel

Fargo Catholic Diocese Bishop John Folda has closed a chapel that was used to conduct prayer services near the abortion clinic.

The chapel received national attention when former Bishop Samuel Aquila opened it in 2011.

The chapel’s location was chosen because of its proximity to the Red River Women’s Clinic in Fargo.

A Diocese spokesperson says Folda made “the tough decision to stop using the chapel” due to a change in building ownership and lease terms.
