Help reinvigorate YOUR parish for the cause of life!
We want to help you build a culture of life in your church community! Explore these pages to find resources, event suggestions, corresponding flyers and posters, and more that can help you share the Gospel of Life all year long.
At this time in our state’s history, we are back to the fundamentals: bringing awareness of the dignity of every human person to the young and the old in our communities. Think creatively! Consider partnering with other ministries within your church, reaching out to the youth in your parish, and hosting events that will attract a broad audience. These pages are filled with ideas; all they need is your zeal for life!
If you have any questions or are looking for more suggestions or information, contact the Respect Life office!
