RESPECT LIFE MINISTRY
Our Mission
The Respect Life Ministry embraces the Church’s mission to protect “every human being’s right to life and physical integrity from the moment of conception until death.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph #2273)
Get Involved!
St. Ann's Respect Life Ministry meets once a month to pray the Pro-Life Rosary and gather for a short meeting to plan and organize our efforts to build a culture of life — from conception to natural death.
Our ministry actively supports life in all its stages. We:
Attend local pro-life events and vigils
Fundraise to support local organizations that serve mothers and babies in need
Volunteer at St. Joseph’s Village, reminding elderly residents of their dignity and value
Provide educational resources and opportunities to help our parish community stand for life
Whether you're called to pray, serve, educate, or simply learn more, there's a place for you here. Come be a voice for the voiceless and help us foster a parish rooted in love and respect for every human life.
