Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez will be the principal celebrant and homilist at the annual Respect Life Sunday Mass. Organized by the Archdiocesan Office for Life and Family, the Respect Life Sunday Mass is a celebration of the Church’s pro-life teachings. The Office for Life and Family promotes respect for human life from conception to natural death through education, advocacy, and pastoral care programs.

A brunch reception with the Sisters of Life will follow the Mass. To RSVP for the brunch, please click here. The Mass will also kick-off the fall 40 Days for Life campaign. 40 Days for Life is an international effort to end abortion through prayer, fasting, and community outreach.

Free parking will be available in the parking lot adjacent to the Cathedral Basilica.
