Dear Curé Families,
As October is Respect Life Month we pray to our Holy Mother for peace as we watch the atrocities in the Middle East. We pray for all of the innocent lives lost in war and the families who have lost someone dear to them or do not know the status of their loved ones. As the US Bishops in the Challenge of Peace wrote: "Peacemaking is not an optional commitment. It is a requirement of our faith. We are called to be peacemakers, not by some movement of the moment, but by our Lord Jesus. "
