Respect Life Ministry
-
-
The Respect Life Ministry brings awareness and educates our parish in all aspects of life. It promotes reverence for human life in all stages. Members of this ministry are involved in activities that range from educating the public about abortion and opposing its practice in the medical field to honoring and supporting the elderly in our parish.
The Respect Life Committee meets on an as-needed basis. The committee discusses parish activities and gives updates on events around the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. All are welcome to attend. No training is required, but due to some of the topics discussed, membership is limited to adults and mature teens.
For more information, contact Kerry Chu at RespectLife@ctrcc.com.

Respect Life Month (October)
-
2021 Theme: St. Joseph, Defender of Life, Pray for Us!
Each October the Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month, and the first Sunday of October is observed as Respect Life Sunday. As Catholics, we are called to cherish, defend, and protect those who are most vulnerable, from the beginning of life to its end, and at every point in between. During the month of October, the Church asks us to reflect more deeply on the dignity of every human life.
The 2021 theme is St. Joseph, Defender of Life, Pray for Us!
In recognition of Respect Life Month, see below for educational, prayerful, and charitable opportunities at CtR. -

Oct. 23 - White Mass
The White Mass is an annual celebration of the contributions of our Catholic healthcare workers. If you are a healthcare worker, we invite you to join us to celebrate all you have done, particularly in the past year and a half! Even if you do not work in healthcare, you are still invited to join us.
Our Catholic medical teams face so many challenges in being the hands and feet of Christ. Many are threatened with performing procedures that violate deeply held religious beliefs. Let’s join our Catholic medical teams in solidarity!
