On September 17, 2022, a mass at the Sacred Heart Church in Brig, Switzerland was disrupted by two pro-abortion activists. It was the day before the March for Life in Switzerland, and the sermon of the priest Fr. Edi Arnold was about the protection of life.

Some of the parishioners shouted at them before chasing them out of the church. The mass continued as normal and the procession that followed in the streets of Brig at night with candles and placards was calm.
