The Respect Life Committee is dedicated to preserving life from the moment of conception to the time of natural death. We know prayer is our greatest weapon and it is imperative to help us accomplish our goals and to draw the entire parish into an awareness of the need to respect all life. Individually we try to attend various workshops and talks throughout the Diocese to educate ourselves so that we may bring what we have learned back to our committee and parish. Together as a group we decide on new and different activities that we may be able to incorporate into the parish calendar. We try to meet with and support other ministries in the parish. We support Birthright, the Life Center and other respect life organizations that provide alternatives to abortion. Politically, we try to get legislation passed which will put an end to abortion. We also try to make others aware of what is going on in the political arena so that they may get more involved.

The Scripture we have chosen as our motto is:
"I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life..." (Duet 30:19).
