Respect Life Collection, October, 2012
In 2005 Bishop Morlino asked for a special collection to be initiated during the beginning of October, Respect Life Month, to assist in efforts “to build a Culture of Life” and support “a network of safety and refuge, so that every woman in the Diocese of Madison would know of our care and concern.” In Madison, the funds have been used to support Elizabeth House which provides a home for up to 12 young pregnant mothers along with a means to study, plan their futures, and learn parenting skills; the Women's Care Center which provides counseling and ultrasounds across the street from an abortion center, and the Pregnancy Helpline which provides 24-Hour telephone assistance and baby supplies to mothers in need. Other recipients include the Stateline Pregnancy Clinic in Beloit and, internationally, the St. Hermine Home for the Destitute in Tamilnadu, India.

This coming year, we will maintain support for these worthy efforts and also strive to assist other pro-life apostolates to a greater degree. Thank you so very much for your generous support!

"The Church … is called to proclaim the gift of life, to serve life, and to promote a culture of life. … This is the message of hope we are called to proclaim and embody in a world where self-centeredness, greed, violence, and cynicism so often seem to choke the fragile growth of grace in people’s hearts."
Pope Benedict XVI, homily, Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral (April 19, 2008)
