Respect Life
The Respect Life Ministry:
Vision Statement:
We actively give witness to the Gospel of Life in our parish and community
by promoting the dignity and sanctity of each human life from conception to natural death.
Mission Statement:
Our mission is to foster the deepest appreciation for the sanctity of human life through
prayer, education and the organization of opportunities to give witness to the Gospel of Life.
Core Values:
All our work is for the greater glory of God. Ad majorem Dei gloriam. We entrust
our prayers and actions to the care of our Blessed Mother, Mary. We are faithful to the authority
of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. We courageously strive to be Christ to others and to see Christ in others.
