The Respect Life Program, sponsored by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, started in 1972 and begins anew each October—the month set aside by the U.S. bishops as “Respect Life Month.” The program promotes respect for human life in light of our intrinsic dignity as having been created in God’s image and likeness and called to an eternal destiny with him. New materials are designed each year to assist those in various roles within the Church to help Catholics understand, value, and become engaged with supporting the dignity of every person, especially by cherishing God’s gift of life. The theme this year is "Moved by Mercy." Click here for more information.

The Catholic Church in the United States celebrates life, all life, in a special way during the month of October. Visit the display in the Narthex at St. Catherine's and click here to find out more about activities here at St. Catherine's.
