Respect Life Month
Respect Life Theme: October 2022 - September 2023
Watch this webinar to learn about the new theme: Called to Serve Moms in Need, along with many ideas for what your Respect Life Committee can do for Respect Life Month and beyond.
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 of every human life so that we can then work together to respect life throughout the coming year.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (Respect Life Program) provides resources to help parishes, schools, families, ministries and individual Catholics share the Gospel of Life during Respect Life Month and throughout the year.
