County chief judge revoked the permit to close the road where the Mass was to take place.

The Diocese of Wichita, Kansas, was forced to cancel its annual “Mass for Life” scheduled to take place in front of an abortion business Oct. 7 after a judge revoked its permit to close the road where the Mass was to take place.

Sedgwick County chief Judge Jeffery Goering signed a temporary restraining order on Oct. 6, which, in effect, prohibited the Mass from taking place, according to The Wichita Eagle.

The diocese has said it plans to appeal the decision at a hearing before the Wichita City Council, in order to celebrate the Mass there next October.

Matthew Vainer, a spokesman for the diocese, told CNA Thursday that every year the abortion business, Trust Women, on East Kellogg Drive in Wichita, raises objections to the Mass. This year, he said, a new office space company, the Strategic Workspace and Event Center, also weighed in with their objections.
