Evangelium Vitae: 25th anniversary of the landmark pro-life encyclical

This year the Church celebrates the 25th anniversary of the landmark pro-life encyclical, Evangelium Vitae, The Gospel of Life, written by Pope St. John Paul II. This anniversary inspired the USCCB's Respect Life theme for this year: Live the Gospel of Life.

Look for an educational article each week in October on the Respect Life page to help us focus on reaffirming the Church’s teaching on the sacredness of every human life. Learn more in this summary titled 25 Years of The Gospel of Life. 

May each of us here at Holy Infant continue to witness to the sacredness of life by always cherishing, protecting, and supporting the life of the born and unborn to natural death. May we have the grace to treat each person as we would treat Christ Himself.
