The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. This belief is the foundation of all the principles of our social teaching. In our society, human life is under direct attack from abortion and euthanasia. The value of human life is being threatened by cloning, embryonic stem cell research, and the use of the death penalty. The intentional targeting of civilians in war or terrorist attacks is always wrong. Catholic teaching also calls on us to work to avoid war. Nations must protect the right to life by finding increasingly effective ways to prevent conflicts and resolve them by peaceful means. We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.
Our parish will take up the Collection for the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS), November 8-9, a collection approved by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to be taken
every three years. The AMS provides pastoral care to Catholic men and women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, enrolled at a U.S. Military Academy, being treated as a patient at any of the
153 U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers, or who work for the federal government beyond U.S. borders - including those from our own parish and diocese. The AMS does not
receive any funding from the government or military, and has no parishes from which to receive a weekly assessment. To learn more about the AMS, go to

Wonderful to have a Pope who supports the dignity of all human life: "Pope Leo offers his strongest criticism of Trump yet" 1 day ago BBC Sarah Rainsford Southern and Eastern Europe correspondent, Rome Pope Leo has called for "deep reflection" on how migrants are treated in the United States, where he said many people were deeply affected by the controversial policy of mass deportation. In some of his strongest criticism to date of President Donald Trump's administration, the first ever US-born pope also warned that the US bombing of Venezuelan ships, suspected of carrying drugs, risked increasing tensions in the region. Emerging to address a bank of TV cameras outside his papal retreat at Castel Gandolfo and offering to answer "one or two questions", Pope Leo XIV said there were people who have lived in the US "for years and years never causing problems, who have been deeply affected" by Trump's hardline policy on migration. Speaking in English, and reaching a US audience directly, he reiterated the Catholic belief that every Christian will ultimately be judged on how they welcomed "the foreigner". "I was struck by how direct his reference was because he's obviously talking about the ICE round-ups," Catholic historian Austen Ivereigh told the BBC, referring to the immigration enforcement body in the US. "It's very strong."
