WASHINGTON - Across the United States, approximately 2,750 pregnancy help centers offer life-affirming support to pregnant and parenting women in need. Some of these centers have been the targets of violence, vandalism, and an orchestrated campaign to malign their good names. In recognition of their contribution to the common good, and in observance of Pregnancy Help Appreciation Week (November 6-10), Bishop Michael F. Burbidge of Arlington, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on Pro-Life Activities, issued the following statement: 

On this solemn feast of All Souls Day, we as a Church come together to pray and remember our departed loved ones who have gone before us. Indeed, it is a day when we unite in prayer, interceding that all the deceased and our loved ones may now enjoy eternal peace with our Heavenly Father.
