RL Resources: June 2026

This section is dedicated to providing seasonal resources for Parish Respect Life Coordinators If there is a resource that you believe would be useful to include, please contact us at [email protected].

1 | Word of Life

This month’s WORD OF LIFE focuses on the theme of defending and promoting life, especially where it is vulnerable or threatened. Specifically, it highlights the importance of religious liberty and a FATHERS DAY ACTION GUIDE on the importance of fathers in building a culture of life. Resources will be made available to help the faithful pray, reflect, and take action on these issues, both domestically and internationally.  Available in ENGLISH and SPANISH.

2 | Religious Freedom Week 

Religious freedom allows the Church, and all religious communities, to live out their faith in public and to serve the good of all. Religious Freedom Week 2026 begins with the Memorial of Ss. John Fisher and Thomas More, ends with the Solemnity of Ss. Peter and Paul.  Resources will be made available to help the faithful pray, reflect on, and take action for religious liberty, both here in this country and abroad. Download the information HERE.

3 | Unanimous Victory for PRCs

In case you missed it, Parish Respect Life leaders are encouraged to learn more about the recent 9–0 U.S. Supreme Court victory supporting pregnancy care centers nationwide. A special webinar is now available that unpacks the case, its implications, and what it means. If you’d like deeper insight into this important victory, we invite you to watch the event here:​ HERE.

4 | No Cross the Bridge for Life in 2026

After two decades the annual Cross the Bridge for Life event has officially come to a close. Each year on the first weekend of June, thousands of participants filled the Purple People Bridge, crossing between states in a symbolic and prayerful demonstration of unity, hope and commitment to life. The planning team cited upcoming reconstruction at the event site and additional uncertainties surrounding future logistics as key factors in the decision to discontinue the event.
