January Action Guide
The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM), no. 373, designates January 22 as a particular day of prayer and penance, called the “Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children.”
The USCCB provides resources to help parishes and ministries participate in this important day of prayer and penance at
www.respectlifeprogram.org/january. In addition, the USCCB will sponsor an annual, nationwide novena, the
“9 Days for Life” which surrounds the liturgical observance of the Day of Prayer. In 2020, the novena will take place Tuesday, January 21 – Wednesday, January 29. Contact the Office of Pro-Life Activities at 713-741-8728 or
jkfritsch@archgh.org for more information about these or other events during the month of January.
