October is Respect Life Month

October is observed as “Respect Life Month” by Catholic parishes throughout the United States. It is a special time to pray, fast, and be mindful of the Godgiven right to life, from conception until natural death, and the dignity inherent in every human being, having been created in the image and likeness of God.

Many women who have had an abortion are told to forgot about it and go on with their lives, but they cannot. We encourage them to acknowledge their loss, and invite them to Confession to forgiveness and to healing. Abortion is clearly the gravest offense as it murders an innocent human life, but it is not the only offense against the dignity of life. War and poverty, as well as the lack of food, proper housing, education and medical care, are also offenses against life that must be addressed.

Our Lady of Fatima Parishioners have been asked to be present outside of the Planned Parenthood on San Mateo on October 5th and October 19, 2021 for some period of time between 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM.
