RESPECT LIFE
DIOCESE OF TRENTON

October is Respect Life month.  Although as Catholics we believe in respecting life all of the time, October is a special for us to reflect on how the importance and sacredness of human life, from the moment of conception to the hour of death.  We are called to consider all people as children of God, and to treat them as our brothers and sisters.

It's a time to consider in a special way the act of abortion, an action strongly opposed by the Catholic Church which believes an unborn child is the beginning of a special God-given life, a life which is embraced and loved.
