This ministry strives to make parishioners more aware of pro-life issues and to work for pro-life causes. The committee shares the Church’s pro-life teachings through prayer, education, and pastoral services to those in need. We also seek to keep our parishioners informed about respect-life issues at the local, state, and national/international levels. This ministry also seeks to involve parishioners in the LifeChain event which takes place every October.

- Make sacrifices for sinners
- Complete the “Five First Saturday Devotions”
