Pro-Life Committee

 Based in the truth of Scripture that every human life is created in the image of God and has God given dignity, since its beginnings in 2007, 40 Days for Life campaigns have been instrumental in the sparing of over 18,000 lives from abortion through prayer, fasting and public peaceful vigil.


Scripture teaches us that human life is sacred. Each of us is created in the image of God.  We are each called to defend, protect and value all human life.  


A great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world. Through special initiatives and in daily prayer, may an impassioned plea rise to God, the Creator and lover of life, from every Christian community, from every group and association, from every family and from the heart of every believer.
Pope Saint John Paul II
