Respect Life
The Respect Life Committee seeks to uphold and defend the humanity of the unborn child and to support all persons called to be responsible for the care of the unborn, as well as the elderly, terminally ill, or developmentally disabled. The goal is to help people realize the need to respect life in all its stages. This involves:
Raising awareness within the parish of alternatives to abortion and other important life issues.
Providing material assistance to women and families in crisis pregnancies within the parish and in the greater community.
Presenting and explaining church teachings to young parishioners.
Becoming part of this ministry requires an open heart to every single human life that begins in conception until natural death.
Respect Life meetings
Meets 4-5 times per year for 1 hour • Parish Center
