OCTOBER IS RESPECT LIFE MONTH

Collection boxes will be available in the church vestibule every weekend during October in support of Birthright and The
Villa (formerly known as Smith House).

Birthright provides assistance to expectant and new mothers and The Villa provides assistance to the elderly.

Birthright is in need of clothing specifically sizes birth—4T (please no maternity or used items).

The Villa’s residents are in need of small personal size items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, tissues, hand lotion, nail polish, lipstick, lip balm, lap blankets, shawls, slipper socks, combs, pens, stationary & 2025 calendars.

Each October the Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month. 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.
