As a gift from God, every human life is sacred from conception to natural death.

The Office of Respect Life Ministry serves as an evangelization resource to promote the sanctity of human life in accord with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Pastoral Plan for Pro Life Activities: A Campaign in Support of Life. As an extension of this four-branched plan, and in service to the parishes, the Respect Life Office focuses on public information and education, public policy, pastoral care, and prayer.
