Catholic parishioners are being urged to be extra vigilant this weekend, amid warnings that activists may be organizing to disrupt Mass.

The Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth says groups are calling for people to dress in costume and carry signs as they disrupt worship services.

All of this comes in the wake of a leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that suggests that the court is about to overturn Roe v. Wade.

"All of us must remain peaceful, prayerful, and recollected," the Diocese said in a statement. "Each and all of us should be more intentionally aware of our surroundings this weekend and in the coming months."

The Diocese says the decision to beef up security will be up to each parish.
