Bishop Thomas, chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on Pro-Life Activities, shared a message for those suffering after participating in abortion: “As we approach Lent, please allow me to speak to all who carry the unbearable sadness and guilt of an abortion experience. Be assured that Jesus keeps on loving you, no matter what.”

Abortion Healing
Earth Day has never been meant to live for just one date on the calendar. In 2026, the focus moves past awareness and into responsibility. The Earth Day 2026 theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” challenges the idea that caring for the planet is symbolic or optional. It asks a harder question: what happens after Earth Day ends? The choices made in homes, workplaces, classrooms, and communities carry more weight than speeches or social posts. Earth Day 2026 draws attention to the power people already use every day—and how that power can either protect the planet or quietly damage it.
