Prayerful Support for Life Across the Archdiocese

Posted

Respect Life Sunday on Oct. 4 kicks off Respect Life Month, a time to pray for the protection of all human life. You can join one of the Life Chains, a peaceful and prayerful public witness for an end to abortion that offers a message of mercy and healing for those suffering as a result of abortion. Or you can participate in Rosary Coast to Coast, a movement to unite the nation in praying the Holy Rosary for healing of our country and a return to holiness. Many parish and local groups are joining in the prayers as listed below. Information on Rosary Coast to Coast, www.rosarycoasttocoast.com
