Respect Life Month - October 2025

Every October, the Catholic Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month, with the first Sunday of October designated as a Respect Life Sunday. As Catholics, we are called to welcome, care for, and protect God’s gift of human life, with concern for those who are most vulnerable.

The Catholic Respect Life Ministry here at Good Shepherd invites you to participate in the many opportunities being offered here, in our diocese, and our community through prayer, reflection, advocacy, and service.
