Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone today published his first pastoral letter, “Before I Formed You in the Womb I Knew You: A Pastoral Letter on the Human Dignity of the Unborn, Holy Communion and Catholics in Public Life.” For text of the pastoral letter and a link to today’s homily, please go to InTheWomb.org.
“Abortion is the axe laid to the roots of the tree of human rights…Without protection of the right to life, no other talk of rights makes sense,” Archbishop Cordileone wrote in the teaching document to the priests and laity of the Archdiocese of San Francisco.

The framed faces of Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., Cardinal Wilton Gregory, John Lewis, Barack Obama, Rosa Parks and Mahalia Jackson and other notable Americans of African American descent are the first thing Most Holy Redeemer parishioners will see when they arrive for Mass this month.
The regal display honoring Black culture during Black History Month Feb. 1-March 1, was an “intentional teaching tool” in a parish with less than a half-dozen Black members, said Mercy Sister Marilyn Morgan.
“Our parish has often been introspective, and we wanted to focus outside of ourselves on racism,” said Sister Morgan, who designed the display.
