Families for Life

This parish ministry provides a structure through which people of all ages and abilities can channel their energy and direct their efforts to be involved in pro-life ministry in our parish, diocese, and community. Our purpose is to educate and raise awareness for the Church’s teaching regarding the sanctity of life, through parish programs, activities, and service projects. They include the Walking with Moms in Need, Spiritual Adoption Program, Baby Shower for area pregnancy centers, Cross the Bridge for Life, Field of White Crosses, and various other opportunities to foster awareness for respect for life from conception to natural death. 


Planning meetings are held when needed. 

All parishioners are invited to become involved. 


Watch the bulletin for updates on Families for Life events.

Spiritual Adoption

Our parishioners will be given an opportunity to spiritually “adopt” a child and pray each day that he or she will be carried to term and experience the fullness of life as God intended. Prayer cards featuring your Spiritually Adopted baby are available in the Welcome Center. From February to October, "Little Ones” posters will be displayed and will chronicle your “adopted” baby’s development in the womb.  Your family can enjoy seeing how your “adopted baby” is growing and also have an opportunity to read a “thank you for praying for me” note from your baby that will also be displayed alongside each month’s new poster. We hope you and your family will take this opportunity to participate and experience the power of prayer for God’s most precious gift of life.

Respect Life Month

October has been designated by the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops as Respect Life Month. The Catholic community throughout the United Sates will reaffirm our commitment to promoting a greater respect for all human life. Watching the news and reading the headlines, we may feel helpless seeing the heartbreaking lack of respect for human life. How do we respond? Changing the culture is a process of conversion that begins in our own hearts. When we encounter Christ, experience His love, and deepen our relationship with Him, we become more aware of our own immeasurable worth and that of others. As Catholics, we must work with urgency to change our attitudes and laws helping others to discover,celebrate, and cherish the miracle that is every human being from conception to natural death.

Please take the opportunity during October to pray for the cause of life and get involved inhelping build a Culture of Life in our homes, our community and in the world.
