This week, in communion with the Universal Church in the month of October, we take a deeper look at celebrating, respecting and defending the dignity of all human life. Along with the USCCB, our theme this year is St. Joseph, Defender of Life. Join in the daily focus with prayer, and encourage your son or daughter to get involved this week. Check out the Xavier Respect Life Week calendar here. With the goal of dignifying the life of our brothers and sisters in need in our community, the personal product drive for Metro Catholic Outreach continues during this Respect Life Week. Be generous and help others who are in material need.
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, join us at 3PM, in the chapel or from where you are, to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for greater respect, celebration, and dignity of human life with the specific focus on the group each day. Join on Wednesday at 7AM or at 3PM to pray a rosary for the defense, dignity, and celebration of all human life from womb to tomb. As always, join us for 7AM Mass on Friday, with specific prayer intentions for life, or join us for Adoration at any time on Friday to pray for the vulnerable, forgotten, and disregarded in our midst.
