Resources for October Respect Life Month
Every October, the Church in America celebrates Respect Life Month to raise awareness of pro-life issues and promote the Church’s defense of the culture of life from conception to natural death.
Important Dates
Sunday, October 5th, is Respect Life Sunday.
The Gospel reading gives a natural springboard for speaking on pro-life issues, as Jesus tells us, “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” (Mk 10:14).
Tuesday, October 22nd, is the Feast of St. John Paul II
The USCCB asks us to begin praying the Respect Life Novena, ending Wednesday October 30th.
