In the United States, the Catholic Church observes October as Respect Life Month. As Catholics, we are called to preserve all human life, especially those lives that are most vulnerable. Please continue to pray that all human life will be respected from conception until natural death.

Within the history of the Catholic Church, there has been really no other saint quite like St. Thomas Aquinas, whose feast day we celebrate on Jan. 28. He is called the “Angelic” Doctor of the Church due to his great intellectual capacity and angelic purity. In fact, the seminaries now are going back to the tradition of teaching Thomistic theology, based on his teaching. Father Daniel Klimek shares insight on this great saint.
