RESPECT LIFE MONTH – Your Help is Needed!
October is traditionally the month of the Holy Rosary, and in the Catholic Church, it is also Respect Life Month.
During this special month, we are reminded to pray for the protection and dignity of every human life, from conception until natural death. As Catholics and Christians, we believe that every person is created in the image and likeness of God, and that every human life is sacred.
Recently, Massachusetts enacted Chapter 188 of the Acts of 2026, changing the law concerning abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy. There is now an opportunity for Massachusetts citizens to petition for a referendum concerning this law. Beginning November 8, 2026, the new law provides that abortion after 24 weeks may be performed by a physician based on the physician's professional judgement.
This year, 49,716 certified signatures from registered voters are required to seek suspension of the law through the referendum process.
Volunteers will be available after Mass to provide information and to collect signatures from those who are eligible and wish to sign the petition. This is one way to make your voice heard and to witness to the dignity and sanctity of human life. Please continue to pray for our Commonwealth, for our elected leaders, for mothers and families facing difficult circumstances, and especially for the protection of every unborn child.
May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Life, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
