Health Care Professionals and Respect Life Month Mass with Bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger

Sep 28, 2024, 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Please join us for the White Mass to celebrate healthcare workers & Respect Life Month.

This Mass celebrates and supports healthcare workers and fulfills the Sunday Mass obligation. Doctors, nurses,

pharmacists, and all health care professionals are invited to attend as we ask God’s blessing for our work.

Family, friends and the public are also encouraged to attend to help pray for, support, and celebrate, our health

care community. This Mass gathers healthcare professionals under the patronage of St. Luke to ask for God’s

blessings on doctors, nurses, patients and caregivers alike.

In anticipation of Respect Life Month, this Mass provides Catholics across the diocese the opportunity to come

together to witness to the inherent equality and transcendent value of every human being. During the Mass, we

give thanks to God for the gift of human life, and pray for His guidance and blessings on our efforts to defend

the most vulnerable members of the human family.
