2015-16 Respect Life Program: Every Life is Worth Living

Dear School Leaders,

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops would like to make you aware of some upcoming resources that may assist Catholic educators in their work.

Each year, October is observed as Respect Life Month—a special time to reflect upon “the incomparable worth of the human person” (Evangelium Vitae, 2) regardless of age, ability, or circumstance. Though observing Respect Life Month does provide a particular opportunity for reflection, prayer, and action, this truth of who we are and the exploration of it and what it means for daily life is an ongoing journey throughout the year and throughout our lives.

To assist Catholic educators in helping their students go deeper into this understanding and connect it with other areas of study, we would like to invite their use of the upcoming materials for the 2015-16 Respect Life Program, which begins in October 2015 and continues through September 2016. The theme for the year will be “Every Life is Worth Living,” and more information is available on the attached flyer. (Please see below)

STAY TUNED: Further information (including how to order) will be available this summer. For the 2014-2015 materials, or for later updates on the upcoming 2015-2016 materials, please visit www.usccb.org/respectlife. We can also be reached at prolife@usccb.org.

If you have any questions, please contact Anne McGuire, Assistant Director for Education and Outreach for the Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, at amcguire@usccb.org or 202-541-3070. Thank you for your leadership and all you do to build up a culture of life!
