The Respect Life Program is published annually by the USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities and its resources are used by dioceses nationwide. The program begins anew each year on Respect Life Sunday (the first Sunday in October) and continues to be utilized throughout the year and beyond. This educational resource offers new content each year to help Catholics understand, value, and become engaged with supporting the dignity of the human person, especially the gift of every person's life. These materials are especially helpful for clergy, parish Respect Life Ministries, adult and youth faith formation, Catholic schools, and other groups and organizations, as well as for individual use.
This year's theme is "Called to Serve Moms in Need". Click the image to view and download articles, social media graphics, and more!
