Message from Bishop John McDermott:
My dear family in Christ,
As we prepare to end September and enter October, I wish to offer a reminder that October is both Respect Life Month and the Month of the Holy Rosary. Heeding the call of the Church to stand up for the precious gift of human life, from its very beginning in the womb until called home to the Lord, I invite us all to seek the intercession of Our Lady in offering a rosary or at least a decade of the rosary each day in October for an increase of the respect for life.
