October 5, Respect Life Sunday, is the day the Catholic Church begins a month-long focus on the issue of the sanctity of every human life created in God’s image and likeness. At Saint Paul of the Cross Parish, we are blessed to have a strong and active Respect Life Team that has worked tirelessly over the years to advocate for life and raise the profile of this vital issue for our parishioners. Led by John and Kathy Raimondi, the Respect Life Ministry meets monthly to coordinate events for our people to learn about, advocate, and demonstrate for all human life. Please consider joining them for a special presentation later this month:
