"Reverence for life is the glue of human community"

Archbishop Charles J. Chaput

The Respect Life Ministry’s mission is to educate the parish on all life issues from conception to natural death. Through prayer and education we encourage the parish community to get involved in organizations that support the Catholic view of the sanctity of life.

There are currently 16 ministries under the umbrella of Respect Life.  We welcome you to explore the many ways to live our faith and stay current on the various activities within each ministry.
