Respect Life

About Respect Life

The Respect Life Committee promotes awareness and coordinates activities to foster and strengthen a deeply felt and lived respect for the sanctity of all human life, from the moment of conception to natural death. All of us are responsible for witnessing to the Gospel of Life in this world. The respect life committee works hard to advocate for human life and to keep the manifold moral issues related to human life and its sacredness front and center in our Catholic Christian consciousness. Advocacy can include trips to meet with elected officials and participation in the annual March for Life. The committee also helps protect and support those whose lives are vulnerable to violence or neglect both materially and spiritually, through our Mother’s Day Baby Shower collections, School Supply collections and collecting clothes for the homeless. Coming to the aid of others whose lives are not as blessed and secure as our own is a natural response to the commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves.
