Celebrate Respect Life Month at St. Michael
October is Respect Life Month, a time to reflect on the dignity of every human person, from conception to natural death. At St. Michael, we invite all parishioners to participate in prayer, formation, and outreach events throughout the month and beyond. There are many opportunities to learn, pray, and get involved in life-affirming ministries across our parish.
