In response to the Gospel of Life, we commit ourselves to prayer, education, and action in defense of life. It is our mission to foster in our parish community an awareness of the dignity and sanctity of all human life, from conception to natural death. We are dedicated to observing and promoting the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church on all life issues, including abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, assisted suicide, and stem cell research.

Woman's New Life Clinic
Baby Bottle Campaign: January 18-19, 2025
Return Baby Bottles: January 25-26, 2025This year, the Respect for Life Apostolate, in conjunction with the Knights of Columbus, will be doing a Baby Bottle Campaign to benefit Woman’s New Life Clinic.
For almost 25 years, Women’s New Life has been providing free professional medical and mental health services for women in need. Women have gone to Woman’s New Life Clinic to get confirmation of their pregnancy and gestational age, encounter their child through ultrasound, and receive mental health support every step of the way. They have received free diapers, baby clothes, portable sleepers, and more. Woman’s New Life Clinic’s social workers and professional counselors have assisted women with adoption plans, health insurance applications, housing assistance, and treatment for substance abuse. YOU can help women in unplanned pregnancies with your support. Can you give at least $20 to help a mother in our community receive the support she needs to choose life?

Louisiana Life March
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 John Paul II, The Gospel of Life (Evangelium Vitae), n. 100

Walking with Moms in Need
Walking with Moms in Need is a nationwide, parish-based initiative to increase support for pregnant and parenting mothers in need. It works to ensure that any woman who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, or parenting in difficult circumstances, can turn to her local Catholic Church and be connected with the resources she needs. Volunteers walk with moms throughout the motherhood journey, offering them authentic Christian friendship and ongoing support.

A Prayer for Pregnant Mothers
O Blessed Mother, you received the good news of the Incarnation of Christ, your Son, with faith and trust. Grant your protection to all pregnant mothers facing difficulties. Guide us as we strive to make our parish communities places of welcome and assistance for mothers in need. Help us become instruments of God's love and compassion. Mary, Mother of the Church, graciously help us build a culture of life and a civilization of love, together with all people of good will, to the praise and glory of God, the Creator and lover of life. Amen.

Catechism of the Catholic Church
2258 "Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains for ever in a special relationship with the Creator, who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end: no one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy an innocent human being."56
