OCTOBER is RESPECT LIFE MONTH
“We are a nation founded on ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’, but the right to life itself is not fully protected, especially for unborn children, the terminally ill, and the elderly, the most vulnerable members of the American family. We are called to be peacemakers in a nation at war. We are a country pledged to pursue ‘liberty and justice for all,’ but we are too often divided across lines of race, ethnicity, and economic inequality. We are a nation of immigrants, struggling to address the challenges of many new immigrants in our midst. We are a society built on the strength of our families, called to defend marriage and offer moral and economic support for family life." (excerpt from THE U.S. BISHOPS’ REFLECTION ON CATHOLIC TEACHING AND POLITICAL LIFE) __________________________________________________
The Life Chain on Oct.12th was a great success thanks to all the participants from St. Canice and St. Patrick. A special thanks to Fr. Estrella, Fr. Ramos and Deacon Rick for their participation and support and to Colleen Deneen and Karen Colwell for organizing the event.
We pray hearts were changed and lives are saved.
