God sends each and every person into this world as a gift. All human life has value and should be respected from the moment of conception to natural death. With Christ as our center, we are committed to upholding this beautiful truth at the parish level and within our community. This aim includes coordinating educational efforts, attending marches and demonstrations, assuring prayer for all life issues, supporting crisis pregnancy centers, and informing parishioners how we can assist through legislative or any other action. We work with the Long Green Valley Knights of Columbus and the Archdiocese Respect Life Committee.
