“You are called to stand up for life! To respect and defend the mystery of life always and everywhere, including the lives of unborn babies, giving real help and encouragement to mothers in difficult situations. You are called to work and pray against abortion.”
– St. John Paul II
The Pro Life Committee is dedicated to the sanctity of all life, especially the unborn child whose lives are ended by abortion. Annually, we sponsor a Cradle of Life, which is a collection of baby and maternity clothes and monetary gifts. These are given to local pregnancy centers to help women as an alternative to abortion.
Also we are the coordinating committee for St. Mary’s for Life Chain, which is held on the first Sunday of October, which is Respect Life Sunday. On an as-needed basis, we coordinate the political effort to let our views be known to our elected officials. A pro-life Rosary is said every Sunday before the 9:00 AM Mass.
