Each October, the Catholic Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month.  We are called to cherish, defend and protect those who are most vulberable, from the beginning of life to its end, and at every point in between. 

The Program  begins a new the first Sunday of October and continues through the following September.  New Materials are designed each year to assist parishes, schools and families celebrete Respect Life Month. 

This year USCCB has created a brand new wesbiste.  In this website you can find resources available for print. 

Respect Life Materials: For those who ordered parish packets they will be mailed directly to the parish in August/early September.  If your parish missed the notice to order, a few extras are available on a first-come first-served basis.  Contact the office of Social Action at guerrero@davenportdiocese.org or 563-888-4210. 

Please remember to use and display your Respect Life month packet materials at your parish and in your bulletin.

  As followers of the crucified Christ, victim of state supported death penalty, we pray for an end to the death penalty.  Iowa is one of a growing number of states that does not have a death penalty.  The links below lead to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop's Campaign to End the Death Penalty and provide a wealth of information and action ideas.
