CHARLOTTE — Faithful across the Diocese of Charlotte gathered on Oct. 6 to kick-off Respect Life Month and form Life Chains as a public witness to the dignity of all human life.
As Catholics, we are called to cherish, defend, and protect those who are most vulnerable, from the beginning of life to its end, and at every point in between. During the month of October, the Church asks us to reflect more deeply on the dignity and gift of every human life.
You can also join in Respect Life Month by praying a novena starting Oct. 22. Download the novena or sign up to get the daily prayers by email or text message here.
