NEW! 2017 Respect Life Month Statement (en español)
Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan
Chairman, USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities
These
suggestions are simply meant to provide some ideas for use of the Respect Life materials in faith formation efforts. Be sure to know and follow all local policies and procedures, particularly safe environment and parental
rights policies, and to obtain the appropriate permissions before moving
forward. If you have any questions about applicable policies, contact your
parish, school, diocese, and/or other relevant authoritative entities.
Highlight ways in which the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy can help us
build a culture of life and walk with others in times of suffering.
Split the young people into small groups. Give each group an age-appropriate article to read and discuss.
Have each group present a summary of the article and the fruits of their discussion (based on reflection questions written by the youth minister ahead of time). Provide markers and easel pads, and give extra points if the teens are able to tastefully and respectfully incorporate hand-drawn renditions of emojis into their presentations.
The Respect Life Program materials are meant to help you build a culture of life, whatever your area of work or ministry. Whether you're serving in a parish, Catholic education, faith formation, communications, or pro-life, youth, young adult, or campus ministry--there's something for you!

The
folder can be used for more than just holding the 2017-2018 Respect Life
Program materials!
For example, put a label with customized information for your organization (ministry, parish, school, diocese, etc.) on the right inside pocket, and use the folder to hold participant materials for local conferences, retreats, and gatherings.
Make
others aware of the variety of materials available to order from the USCCB
Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, ranging from prayer cards to posters and
more.
Because of the wide array available, people serving in various capacities can find helpful resources for their job or ministry.
Give them copies of the catalog, or direct them to www.usccb.org/respectlife, where they can access it online.
