RESPECT LIFE MONTH
Each October the Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month, and the first Sunday of October is observed as Respect Life Sunday. As Catholics, we are called to cherish, defend, and protect those who are most vulnerable, from the beginning of life to its end, and at every point in between. During the month of October, the Church asks us to reflect more deeply on the dignity and gift of every human life.
​
Here are some ideas for participating in Respect Life Month!
1
PRAY
Pray the Respect Life Month Novena!
October 22-30, 2024
Join thousands of Catholics across the country praying for the protection of human life from conception to natural death.
Each day of the novena features a different prayer intention, a short reflection, ideas for building a culture of life, and more.
​
Download the novena or sign up to get the daily prayers by email or text message!

REFLECT
Bishop Michael F. Burbidge of Arlington, chairman of the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities, calls on Catholics to renew their commitment to the legal protection of human life, to support policies and service ministries that assist mothers, and to extend compassion to those suffering from participation in abortion.
