October is Respect Life Month; 2026

​Respect Life Month 2026

In October, the Catholic Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month, and the first Sunday of October is designated as Respect Life Sunday.
 
Respect Life Month helps Catholics understand and value the gift of human life and help build a culture that cherishes and protects it.

Since the early 1990s, on the first Sunday of October, people from all around the country participate in a Llfe Chain which is a peaceful, prayerful public witness where gentle warriors stand along designated public sidewalks holding non-graphic, pro-life messages. Our Parish has participated in the life Chain for more than 20 years. 

You are invited to join us this year for the Life Chain on Sunday, October 4, 2026, from 2:00 to 3:00 at the northwest corner of Harlem and Ogden Avenues.
