Our Mission
The parish pro-life committee assists to make the parish a center of life, a place where parishioners understand the issues and importance of meeting the needs of those who are most vulnerable, especially mothers and their unborn children, and those who are seriously ill or dying and their families.

Health Care Reform
It is critical that Congress hears from us that a fair and just healthcare reform bill must exclude mandated coverage for abortion and uphold longstanding laws that restrict abortion funding and protect conscience rights.
On behalf of the U.S. Bishops, the National Committee for a Human Life Amendment (NCHLA) has issued an Action Alert encouraging Catholics to contact their elected representatives concerning the health care reform that respects life.
It only takes a few minutes to submit your comments to our elected representatives through this online Action Alert. |
