Bishop Morlino celebrates Respect Life Sunday


Bishop Robert Morlino celebrated Respect Life Sunday Mass as St. Patrick's Catholic Church Sunday. The Mass commemorated lives lost to violence, particularly those lost to abortion over the last 35 years.

In his homily at the Mass on October 5, Bishop Robert C. Morlino first examined the Gospel reading for the day, the parable in which the tenants of a vineyard kill the master’s son, sent to them to collect the produce, and its metaphor for God, the church, and society.

“The people who killed the master of the vineyard’s son turned against him in the end,” the bishop said. “What greater rejection could there be than they would kill your son?

“Killing always involves the rejection of the master of the vineyard,” he said.
