The following activities have been planned either by CCSJ or by parishes. All Archdiocesan Departments, Catholic schools and organisations are encouraged to plan activities to observe Respect For Life Week. Parish Priests are asked to offer up intercessory prayers at all Masses during RFLW, that the Faithful will integrate their Faith in their daily lives by respecting all life/all God’s Creation.
The Year of Faith “will be a good opportunity to intensify the celebration of the faith in the liturgy, especially in the Eucharist” (Pope Benedict XVI, Porta Fidei, #31). Let us proclaim the Gospel with courage and conviction and continue to do something for Jesus every day. We can be agents of change; we can transform our society to reflect Gospel values.
