The Respect Life Movement Ministry makes us keenly aware that, as Catholics, we must do our best to fight the evil actions that take life from the innocent and the helpless.  Catholics understand the story and the reasons for Jesus' death and His resurrection. But the Respect Life Movement Ministry must constantly try to tell its own story and fight for the lives of the unborn babies, the helpless, the sick and the elderly.  

Fran Carter, the contact person for this ministry, says participation in this ministry sometimes can be done in one's home, simply by writing letters to elected officials and the media. It always can be done in the voting booth, by knowing the stand of candidates on abortion and other termination of life issues, then voting for those who support the Catholic stand.  It also can be done through the Respect Life Chain, an annual activity in our community, which publicly shows we care.

Finally, parishioners can travel with others from our area to participate in the Annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., protesting Roe vs. Wade and other laws that take life from those who cannot protect themselves.

Respect Life Movement Ministry leaders tell us that by including the work of this ministry and the souls it serves in our personal daily prayers,  we are helping those who cannot help themselves and are participating in this ministry as well.  

Watch our weekly bulletin and our parish newsletter for reminders of actions in which individuals can serve this stewardship through time and talent and treasure.  For more information, please contact Fran Carter at (610) 793-1545.
