The Catholic Church is very clear on her stand on abortion. It is wrong. Plain and simple. Abortion is the deliberate killing of an unborn human person.

Keeping our Catholic values in mind is extremely important when we enter the voting booth. We are Catholics first and foremost, before whatever party affiliation we hold a membership.

Every year the month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. Through meditating on these great mysteries of our salvation we can grow closer to Jesus and Mary.

October is Respect Life Month. Respect Life Sunday, as designated by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, is celebrated each year on the first Sunday of October.

We are amid the Year of St. Paul. This year long celebration in honor of St. Paul the Apostle was announced by Pope Benedict XVI last summer.
