St. Vincent de Paul Church Cleveland, Ohio

Dear Parish Families, On this first Sunday of October, we celebrate and observe Respect for Life Sunday. As Catholics, we are called to cherish, defend, and protect the gift of life in all its stages, from the beginning of life to its end, and at every point in between. The gift of life is a sacred gift, given to us by God, and we’re called, on this Sunday, and in this month dedicated to focus and reflect more deeply on that gift and the dignity of each and every human life. The attacks against the sacredness of life are many in our society today. From abortion, to assisted suicide, the death penalty, respect for the handi-capped and disabled, our society seems to have for-gotten that life is not our own to do with as we please, but a sacred gift entrusted to us by God, our creator. We hear refrains such as, “My body, my choice,” and attempts are made to force people, es-pecially those who work in the healthcare industry, to violate their conscience and participate in activities that violate the respect for all lilfe, from the first mo-ments of its conception in the womb until God calls us to our eternal home. As Catholics, we must not remain quiet in the face of these attacks on the sanctity and the gift of each and every human life. While our society may try to convince us that life is ours to do whatever we want with, to begin and end as we so choose, our faith tells us a different story. No human life is expend-able, and it is not up to us to determine the value of an individual life. It is not our choice as to when life begins or ends. Each and every life is a gift from God, a gift from the womb to the tomb. There are certainly many ways we might advocate for the gift of life in this Respect Life month, maybe we might pray a Rosary or make a Holy Hour with the intention of a greater respect for life, for example. Let us together pray and work in a special way in this Respect Life month, but also each and every day, for a greater respect throughout our culture for the dignity of every life, for life truly is a great gift of God! In Christ’s Love, Fr. John

Sponsored by the Marketing Committee will be held on Satur-day, November 2nd from 10:00am until 3:00pm. Tables are available. If you are inter-ested in participating, please contact Judy Zalewski at (216) 316-7814.
