    Introduction
    • Respect Life Week is a joint project of the Pro-Life Office and the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. This year’s topics include Adoption and Foster Care, Post-Abortion Healing, and Human Trafficking viewed through the lens of our Catholic faith.  Students are invited to understand why we believe what we do and what we can do to build a Culture of Life right here in the Diocese of Brownsville.

      Through curriculum, prayer and service, students in grades PK-12 will have the opportunity to reflect on the infinite love of Christ for every person. Respect Life Week is a cross-curricular program. Teachers, campus ministers, administrators and parents are encouraged to work together to make the week meaningful and impactful for our students.
