Today is Respect Life Sunday: As we begin Respect Life Month, we are reminded that every human life is a gift from God and possesses an immeasurable dignity that must be cherished and protected. Throughout October, let us ask the Lord to deepen our love for every person, especially the most vulnerable among us, and to give us the courage to witness to the dignity of human life in our families and communities.

October is the Month of the Holy Rosary: The Rosary invites us to slow down, place ourselves in the presence of the Lord, and contemplate the mysteries of His life alongside our Blessed Mother. Whether the Rosary is already part of your daily prayer or it has been some time since you last prayed it, consider making this beautiful devotion part of your October. Pray it individually, with your family, or with others, entrusting your intentions and the needs of our world to Mary’s intercession. FORMED has many resources on the Rosary - click here to check them out! To learn how to access your free subscription to FORMED, click here.
Donut Sunday: Stay after the 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM Masses this Sunday for coffee, donuts, and fellowship in Lower Level Room 3.
Together in Holiness Marriage Enrichment: Marriage is a vocation meant to help spouses grow in holiness together. Together in Holiness gives married couples, especially those in the early years of marriage or raising young families, an opportunity to strengthen their relationship with God and one another while building friendships with other Catholic couples. Join me after the 12:00 PM Mass on Sunday, October 11 for a Meet & Greet Pizza Party to learn more.
