Fourth-grader Gabby Yemba, left, and eighth-graders Carmen Yemba and Olivia Hensley of Our Lady of Fatima Parish School in Huntington, W.Va., place "Right to Life" flags on the parish lawn Oct. 6, 2022. Students placed 800 flags for Respect Life Month, observed by the U.S. Catholic Church every October, but all of them were stolen a few days later. With money donated by a parish school family, new flags were purchased and the students were able to replace all the flags by Oct. 14. (CNS photo/courtesy Our Lady of Fatima Parish School)
