Respect Life Month 2021
As we prepare for the start of a new school year, Respect Life Month is just around the corner. It’s celebrated by the Catholic Church in the U.S. each October, and this year, the focus is St. Joseph, defender of life. His unhesitating adherence to God’s will as he faithfully and lovingly protected the Christ Child and the Blessed Mother bears witness to our own call as Christians.
