Respect Life Ministry

 

 

   
  This group seeks to bring greater awareness to parishioners about the sanctity of all human life. They do so by PRAYING individually and with others for the restoration of respect for all human life from conception to natural death. With the assistance of the pastor and deacons, the group attempts to EDUCATE within the Parish on the key life issues of abortion, euthanasia, and assisted suicide. This organization brings attention to the unfortunate abortion-related decisions of the Supreme Court and of the consequent need to restore legal protection for the unborn through protective legislation at both the state and national level. This ministry ACTS to encourage such legislation and to encourage the election of Pro-Life candidates. Every other year, this ministry sponsors a 9 month long Spiritual Adoption Program that provides information monthly on the growth of the unborn baby, encourages prayers for the unborn children and their mothers, and culminates with a "baby shower" at which gifts are collected and later distributed to women and infants in need by the Access Program of the Archdiocese.
