RL Resources: January 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 includes a special action guide on the ANNIVERSARY OF ROE V WADE, which includes instruction on how to commemorate the Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children.  As always, the issue includes weekly intercessions for life, bulletin inserts, and more! Available in ENGLISH and SPANISH.

2 | 9 Days for Life Novena

The 9 DAYS FOR LIFE NOVENA is starting next month! This is a chance to prayerfully enter into January through Respect Life events that surround the anniversary of Roe v Wade. The program includes intentions and suggestions for fasts each day as we continue to pray for our state government. Follow our FACEBOOK PAGE for daily updates as well!

3 | 9 Months With Christ in the Womb

It’s not too early to consider having your parish family participate in our nine month meditation on the fetal life of Christ entitled 9 MONTHS WITH CHRIST IN THE WOMB​ . This campaign offers short reflections for your parish bulletin each week from March 25 to Christmas morning, during which we prayerfully chart where Our Lord Jesus Christ is in his fetal development. It also includes 9 monthly reflections on a different biblical story during the earliest moments of Christ’s time on earth, discussing the importance of a different social issue such as immigration, the death penalty, and concern for those with disabilities. Additionally, prayer cards are available for you to order and hand out to your parishioners. Everything is available in both English and Spanish. All the resources can be downloaded HERE.

4 | March Training Save the Date, March 7 and 14

The Office for Respect Life Ministries and the Center for New Evangelization are teaming up for a day-long training just for Respect Life Ministry leaders.

Registration will open soon, but mark your calendars for Saturday March 7 at St. John’s in Tipp City or Saturday March 14 at Good Shepherd Parish in Cincinnati, from 9:30 AM to 3 PM.
