About the Respect Life Ministry
The Respect Life Ministry focuses on the four major pillars that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops have established.
The following is a list of the four pillars, and some sample ways that our ministry might incorporate the pillars in our work:- Public Information and Education
- Planning activities, organizing speakers, movie nights with debriefs, etc.
- Pastoral Care
- Promoting Project Rachel, Sidewalk ministries, supporting the elderly, disability awareness, etc.
- Public Policy
- Helping organize letter-writing campaigns, postcard campaigns, and legislative initiatives, etc.
- Prayer and Worship
- Planning Masses for Life, Holy Hours, Prayer Services, etc.
This ministry advocates for ALL life from conception to natural death. All are welcome to attend our meetings, events, and activities!
In our present social context, marked by a dramatic struggle between the "culture of life" and the "culture of death", there is need to develop a deep critical sense, capable of discerning true values and authentic needs.
What is urgently called for is a general mobilization of consciences and a united ethical effort to activate a great campaign in support of life. All together, we must build a new culture of life.- Blessed John Paul II, The Gospel of Life, no. 95
