The Respect Life Committee, under the guidance of Karen Walker, Pastoral Minister, will educate the parishioners on the Catholic Church teachings of the sanctity of life and provide opportunities to live out this teaching. This group provides a vital link between Catholic teaching and an opportunity for social action.

Every year, the group participates in the March for Life in Washington, D.C. and Forty Days for Life. Respect Life also organizes a diaper drive every year.

Due to the restrictions surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic, our parish grouping will not be traveling to Washington D.C. for the Annual March for Life on January 29, 2021.

The Respect Life Committee of our Great Grouping will be making luminary kits available for parishioners to display at home on the evening of Thursday, January 21 – the eve of the Roe v. Wade decision. You can display your luminaries at your front door, sidewalk or driveway – to show your support. Let’s light up our communities for life!
