March 2021: Caring for, Protecting, and Welcoming New Life
In March, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. This feast day helps us to recognize the gift of new life from its very beginning and calls us to reflect on how we are to care for, protect, and welcome new life—as the Blessed Mother did for the Christ child.
March 25th also marks the anniversary of the papal encyclical Evangelium vitae (The Gospel of Life). This Church teaching on the value and inviolability of every human life remains an indispensable source of truth for all people.
Inspired by the example of the Blessed Mother, may we, like Mary, have the courage to say “yes” to life from conception to natural death; We pray to the Lord:
Lord, hear our prayer.

November 2020: National Adoption Month
To a woman facing an unexpected pregnancy in difficult circumstances, adoption is sometimes felt to be worse than aborting her child. In reality, placing a child for adoption is a loving, generous, and sacrificial option that demonstrates a woman’s profound, long-term motherly care. In considering and choosing whether to place her child for adoption, a mother seeks what is best for her child, making a selfless act of love. Still, a woman considering adoption may experience a number of conflicting emotions. It is essential that she be supported throughout and after the process, whether she decides to place her child with another loving family or to raise her child herself.
