The main thrust of the Pro-Life Group is to instill a respect for life in our parishioners and to encourage their participation in Pro-Life activities, which do the same, but in the much larger public domain.

1. Attend the special Pro Life Mass (inaugurated many years ago by Archbishop Adam Exner) held on the first Saturday of each month at a different parish each first Saturday. We pray for an end of abortion and all other attacks against the sacredness of human life. And usually, after Mass, we do a Vigil outside a hospital or clinic where abortions are carried out, and we pray the Rosary and other prayers to foster a respect for life. By doing this we give public witness to our belief and conviction that all human life is sacred.
2. We lead the Rosary every Saturday morning before Mass, with all the intentions being for Pro-Life.
3. We try to take part in all “global” Pro-Life events such as Pro-Life Sunday in June, Life Chain in October, and the March for Life in May.

Some activities we would like to see happen in our parish are more organized prayer for Pro-Life; a media response group to respond to anti-life articles on TV, in newspapers, or other media outlets; more educational (in Pro-Life sense) activities/events including regular homilies from the pulpit, and so on. 

We encourage anyone reading this to start regularly praying, at home, of the family Rosary, for Pro-Life intentions, especially a respect for life, in our country and in the world, and for expectant mothers who may be contemplating abortion, that they may receive the grace to choose life for their baby rather than death by abortion.
