October 3, 2021 – Respect Life Sunday

Each year the Church in the United States celebrates October as Respect Life Month, and today, we celebrate Respect Life Sunday. This is a time we can use to deepen our understanding of why, as Catholics, we “Respect Life” and what that looks like day-to-day. As Catholics, we believe that every human person is made in the image and likeness of God. Every human life is therefore sacred and inviolable and should be protected and cherished from conception until natural death. Practices such as abortion, assisted suicide, and capital punishment violates the life and dignity of the human person and must be rejected.
