October is… Respect Life Month & the Month of the Holy Rosary
Join us in praying the Rosary as a community each Sunday throughout the month of October, the Month of the Holy Rosary. Rosary will begin 20 minutes before each of the weekend Masses.
As we pray the Rosary this month, let us pray especially for an end to abortion and for greater respect for human life at every stage.
The bishops of the United States have committed the Church in the United States to redoubling its efforts to accompany and support those facing unexpected or difficult pregnancies and those who need help during the early years of parenthood. This includes advocating for legislative and public policy efforts supporting mothers, as well as increasing its own already significant ministries serving mothers.
Neither does the Church abandon women and men who have chosen abortion and then find themselves in spiritual, emotional, and psychological turmoil. In such circumstances, people need to be reminded that no matter how serious the sin, God offers forgiveness. Many who have participated in abortion believe they have committed the “unforgiveable sin,” but this is not true. The Church’s proclamation of God’s mercy, and the invitation to the Sacrament of Reconciliation, are of paramount importance. In addition, compassionate ministries like Project Rachel offer hope, healing, and spiritual renewal to women and couples who suffer after participating in abortion.
