A Warm & Welcoming Catholic Family of Faith, Love & Service
We are looking for talented, passionate members for our Respect Life committee: photographers, writers, organizers, social media and graphic designers. If you would like to help in any of these areas, please fill in your information below so we can contact you. Thank you for helping to be the voice of the voiceless!
St. Mary Respect Life has been active in St Mary Parish for over 30 years. During this time we have posted billboards, sponsored buses to the Washington, D.C. March for Life, raised money for Pro-Life charities, brought in Pro-Life speakers, and passed out Pro-Life material in order to keep Life issues out in the public eye.
Mission:
To act as a lay apostolate in proclaiming the Gospel of Life and in working toward implementation of the USCCB "Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities."
Objectives:
Who We Are:
We are a lay apostolate group dedicated to the idea that all human life is created in God’s image. We strongly believe that life begins at conception and continues until natural death.
Through our many projects we try to raise awareness of the sanctity of human life and of loving alternatives to abortion. Our goal is to change hearts and minds, and ultimately see the 14,000 annual abortions in the State of Connecticut eliminated.
What We Do:
Our committee has several teams which support projects and events throughout the year. They include a Billboard and Media campaign, support for Project Rachel, Birthright of Greater Danbury, March for Life, speakers/presentations, memorials to the unborn, and Life Chain.
The Committee also works to interface, regarding areas of respect for life, with other organizations and ministries, including the Knights of Columbus and Life Teen, and other Respect Life organizations throughout Fairfield County.
We meet once a month. Please see the Bulletin for the latest updates.
