The first Sunday in October is Respect Life Sunday in Catholic churches across the diocese, and it is also the weekend for the national annual Life Chains across Arkansas. Nationally, the life chains are devoted to prayer and are peaceful. In 2013, more than 1,500 towns held life chains. All events are held from 2-3:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
