Each year, the USCCB designates October as Respect Life Month. Drawing on the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, this year's theme is "Moved by Mercy." Today, the first Sunday in October, is designated "Respect Life Sunday."
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Chairman of the USCCB's Committee on Pro-Life Activities, issued the statement (available here) for this year's Respect Life Program, in which he states, "When we let our hearts be moved by God's mercy, it shapes everything. . . . From each tiny child waiting to be born to individuals nearing death, all are precious and deserve our care and protection."
Materials and resources for individuals, parishes and schools -- including social media kits, brochures and other items -- are available here.
