Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia, will be the celebrant and homilist at the annual Respect Life Mass. This Mass marks the beginning of Respect Life Month during which all Catholics are encouraged to promote the culture of life.
Organized by the Respect Life Office of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, the Mass is a celebration of the Church’s prolife teachings. The Respect Life Office promotes life through education, advocacy, and pastoral care programs.
Each year the United States Bishops Conference selects a theme for its Respect Life Program. This year’s theme is “I came so that all may have life and have it in full” (John 10:10). |
