Respect Life Initiatives
The Respect Life Initiatives are dedicated to promoting awareness for the respect of all life from conception to natural death.
We meet often to pray the rosary at Planned Parenthood, support local pregnancy centers and distribute pro-life literature and other handouts in accordance with the Magisterium. Eucharistic Adoration and a Rosary for the Unborn is every Thursday from 5:30pm - 6:30pm in the St. Michael the Archangel Adoration Chapel. Prayers are led by various Parish Life Communities and Ministries. All are welcome to come and join in this powerful hour for life!

Priests For Life
Priests for Life has come to signify two distinct but related movements within the wider pro-life movement. On one level, as described below, Priests for Life refers to a very specific effort to galvanize the clergy to preach, teach, and mobilize their people more effectively in the effort to end abortion and euthanasia. On another level, Priests for Life represents a family of ministries that reach and enrich every aspect of the pro-life movement, for clergy and laity alike, in a wide variety of activities. This has come to pass precisely because priests are not ordained for themselves, but for the people. So in activating clergy, we are activating all the segments of the Church, the pro-life movement, and the wider society in the defense of life.

It is the largest grassroots Catholic pro-life education organization in the United States.

It is rooted in pro-life integrity that stands up for every innocent human being whose life is threatened by what Pope John Paul II called "the culture of death." That ranges from the single cell human embryo to the elderly, the infirm and others at risk of having their life terminated by acts of euthanasia. The pro-life position notes that neither abortion nor euthanasia can ever be medically necessary or morally permitted.
Abort73.com / Abortion Unfiltered
Motivated by our Christian calling to establish justice, to expose evil injustices, to minister to the needy and helpless, and to extend love to every human person, Abort73.com aims to expose the practice of abortion as an injustice of historic proportions. We believe the best way to do so is to persistently, creatively, and comprehensively educate individuals (esp. students) with the massive body of evidence that stands against it. We strategically target a young audience (e.g., high school and college students) and are taking full advantage of the technology available to educate as many people as possible (i.e., the internet). We think it is good and necessary to use both secular and theological arguments to make our case against the practice of abortion. Since abortion claims the lives of thousands of the helpless unborn everyday and millions every year, we cannot do nothing.
