The Sacred Heart Pro Life Group has many ways for you to get involved during Respect Life Month.
October 1st - Respect for Life Sunday:
Please take one of the prayer cards titled "A Prayer for Pregnant Mothers" and use it throughout the month of October, and beyond.

October 14th - 40 Days for Life Campaign: You are invited to participate in the 40 Days for Life Campaign Prayer Vigil at Planned Parenthood Center in Norristown located on Wood and Powell Streets. Please sign up for an hour of prayer. This year we are partnering with St. Eleanor's Parish. Sign up sheets will be available 9/30, 10/1, 10/7 and 10/8 in the Café after each Mass.

Since 1973, the Catholic Church in the United States has observed October as “Respect Life Month.” This year, Bishop Michael F. Burbidge of Arlington, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on Pro-Life Activities invites Catholics to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Respect Life Month by embracing “radical solidarity” with women facing difficult or challenging pregnancies.
