This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https:\/\/www.ccfrdioc.org\/&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjold_0n4OQAxVvAHkGHW-BMZwQFnoECB8QAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw2BjnqHo08Mu0OKgU29Tbey\">Catholic Charities-funded ministry<\/a> has conducted training in nine of our parishes, which now have dedicated Mental Health Ministry teams. (Additional parishes will receive the training soon.) The teams are comprised of lay mental health ministers who provide support to all impacted by mental illness or substance abuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The parish-based Mental Health Ministry teams create spaces where individuals feel safe to speak about their struggles, where stigma is replaced with compassion, and where hope and healing can begin. While these lay ministers are not mental health professionals, they are members of a caring, supportive faith community, offering psychological, spiritual, and social support through presence, prayer, and understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we prepare to observe World Mental Health Day on October 10, during Mental Health Awareness Week (October 5\u201311), I invite all in our Diocese to pray for those impacted by mental illness and substance abuse at two Masses I will celebrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Saturday, October 11, at 4 p.m. at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corpuschristiparish.org\/\"><strong>Corpus Christi Church<\/strong>, 324 Quaker Meeting House Road in East Sandwich<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sunday, October 19, at 10:30 a.m. at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olfallriver.com\/\"><strong>Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption<\/strong>, 327 Second Street in Fall River<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Masses will be offered for all who mourn the loss of a loved one to suicide, addiction, or mental illness, as well as for those who are themselves living with mental health or substance use challenges. Together, let us continue building communities of faith where every person, especially those carrying the burdens of mental illness or substance use, is welcomed, valued, and loved as a child of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honoring (and Protecting) the Dignity of Every Human Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-09-29-105147-1024x465.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-09-29-105147-1024x465.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-09-29-105147-300x136.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-09-29-105147-768x349.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-09-29-105147-240x109.png 240w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-09-29-105147.png 1093w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>October is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/event\/respect-life-month-annual-mass-and-conference\/\">Respect Life Month<\/a>, a time to reflect more deeply on the God-given dignity of every human person. What does the Church teach about the sanctity of all human life? At the heart of our faith is the truth that all life is sacred, for every human person is created in the image and likeness of God. This belief calls us to defend and be an advocate for life at every stage from conception to natural death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Living out this commitment requires more than words. We are called to action. Action through prayer, education, pastoral care, and advocating on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverfaithformation.org\/respect-life\/public-policy\/\">public policy proposals<\/a>. Do you want to deepen your commitment to protecting life? I invite you to contact our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverfaithformation.org\/respect-life\/\">Family and Respect Life Office<\/a>, which works tirelessly to guide and support our pro-life efforts. You can also visit the USCCB website to access several pro-life resources such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/resources\/prayer-life-jesus-blessed-sacrament\">prayers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/resources\/2024-respect-life-month-statement\">statements from the U.S. Bishops<\/a>, and information on the Church\u2019s position on topics such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/committees\/pro-life-activities\/abortion\">abortion<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/committees\/pro-life-activities\/assisted-suicide-euthanasia\">euthanasia<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/committees\/pro-life-activities\/assisted-suicide-euthanasia\">assisted suicide<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of our Respect Life Month observance, I want to remind you about\u00a0two upcoming events: the Annual Respect Life Mass on Sunday, October 12, at 10:30 a.m. at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olfallriver.com\/\">Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption<\/a>. Then immediately after the Mass, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/event\/respect-life-month-annual-mass-and-conference\/\">Annual Respect Life Conference<\/a> will take place at White\u2019s of Westport with a theme of \u201cEthics at the Beginning of Life.\u201d The keynote speaker is\u00a0 Dr. Joseph Meaney, a bioethicist who will explore the moral and ethical concerns of in vitro fertilization (IVF).
