The Respect Life Ministry is committed to protecting the most innocent members of society. The right to life is a basic right that all should have, without this first right then no other human rights exist. As Catholics we are called to not only live a life of holiness but also to defend life and to be the voice for those that do not have a voice in our society. This moral obligation calls us to be active and not passive in our defense of all human life regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, or whatever else might divide us. Prayerfully consider joining the Respect Life Committee by contacting the Parish Office. God is calling you to not to look the other way but to defend life.
