Respect Life Month

Respect Life Sunday is October 5th this year and begins Respect Life Month: a time to intentionally pray for the protection of all human life. Please join a Life Chain in your local area, a peaceful and prayerful public witness for an end to abortion that offers a message of mercy and healing for those who are suffering as a result of abortion. Or take part in Rosary Coast to Coast, a movement to unite the nation in praying the Holy Rosary for healing of our country and its return to holiness. Please join in prayer at one of the local parishes or groups listed below. For more information on Rosary Coast to Coast, visit www.rosarycoasttocoast.com.
