Every October, the Catholic Church in the U.S. celebrates Respect Life Month, with the first Sunday of October designated as Respect Life Sunday. As Catholics we are called to welcome, care for, and protect God's gift of human life, with special concern for those who are most vulnerable. Respect Life Sunday and Respect Life Month offer opportunities to highlight this precious gift through prayer, reflection, advocacy, and service. Recently, our parishioners participated in 40 Days for Life.
About twice a month the youth in our Family of Parishes meet to reflect, deepen their faith, and socialize. And who is present to provide support and nourishment!? The Knights of Columbus, of course! Recently several Knights, including Tom Rogers, Gresner Colaco, and Garrick Horton swung by to help. For more information about our youth group click here .
