Respect Life

- Ministries

Mission Statement:
Rooted in the basic Gospel teaching that "every human life has its origin in the heart of God," the Respect Life Committee calls each individual person and our parish community in solidarity with our city, state and nation to work to nurture and support a respect for the life and dignity of all persons.

We regard the life of every person from conception to natural death as sacred and work to defend the sanctity of each life. In our attempt to promote and support a culture of life we engage only those words and actions that reflect a positive love and reverence for every person. Violence in any form is unacceptable.

Major Concerns today include:

- Abortion	- Scientific Embryo Research
- Euthanasia	- Contraception
- Violence to Children	- Domestic Abuse
- Death Penalty	- Issues of the Mentally and Physically Handicapped
