Respect Life Sunday, Oct. 6, kicks off Respect Life Month: a time to intentionally pray for the protection of all human life. In the archdiocese, there are many opportunities to express your support for life. You can join one of the Life Chains, peaceful and prayerful public witnesses for an end to abortion that offer 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. Many parishes or organizations are participating in one or both, or holding their own Holy Hour for Life. For more information on Rosary Coast to Coast: www.rosarycoasttocoast.com.
