Respect Life Ministry

The goal of this organization is to keep parishioners advised of current pro-life matters (particularly regarding legislative bills), and to encourage participation in all aspects of pro-life activities most especially abortion alternatives.

With the announcement of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, we’re witnessing a significant increase in the spreading of a huge lie.  The lie is that “those who call themselves pro-lifers don’t care about the child and the mother once the child is born.”  This is far from the truth.  The people standing up for the unborn child are also standing by the courageous women who make the decision to bring their unborn child to full term, no matter the circumstances, and either raise that child themselves or lovingly place their child with adoptive parents.  In the Delaware Valley alone, there are many organizations and facilities that “walk with” and assist mothers who are in need.  These organizations provide housing, education, child care, baby supplies and food, transportation, and so much more for mothers and children.  They have helped some of these mothers get a job, and have given them safe places to live.
 
Now is the time to recommit ourselves to the wonderful work of supporting these Moms. Whatever we can do, we must do; we will do.  Below is a list of just a few places in our area that welcome and need financial support, volunteers, and prayers.    

The video above is performed by John Angotti, co-written by MMR parishioners Maria Malone and Jenny Galiani, produced by Bill Rose. This song is the voice of the unborn child speaking to his mother who is facing an unplanned pregnancy. It is a life affirming message of hope and love. It shares the positive message of how adoption is a very loving option for unplanned pregnancies.
