October is Respect Life Month, and this year we look to St. Joseph as the first defender of life. His unhesitating adherence to God's will as he lovingly protected the Christ Child, and the Blessed Mother bears witness to our call as Christians.

All human life is sacred, for we are made in our Creator, God's image and likeness. Every person created has dignity, worth and is loved by God.

As Catholics, we are commanded to protect life from conception through natural death and all issues in between.

To live our Catholic faith is to live the gospel of life. To create a world where every person is loved, each person must spread kindness, mercy, and an authentic understanding of being part of the human family. Only then will abortion and other attacks on human life end.
Learning, action, and prayer are the keys to growing in empathy, mercy, and kindness.
