Respect Life

Respect Life Committee

From the womb to the tomb, life is precious. Savor it.

 

Who We Are

We are a group of parish men and women who have been faithfully meeting at St. John’s for over 40 years. In a society that glorifies violence, we reject its solutions to problem pregnancies and terminal illness. In a humane, civilized society, we believe that caring for and helping expectant mothers is a non-violent option to abortion, just as hospice is a caring option to euthanasia.

Our Mission

By our prayers and works, we strive to open the hearts and minds of all to the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death through:

  • Prayer
  • Communication
  • Support
  • Education
  • Influence

Respect Life Committee Meetings

Meetings are usually held on the 4th Tuesday of each month from 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm. Check St. John’s weekly Sunday bulletin for specific meeting dates and locations, or call the parish office, 651-633-8333.

Daily Prayer To End Abortion

Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life and for the lives of all my brothers and sisters.

I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion, yet I rejoice that you have conquered death by the Resurrection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part in ending abortion.

Today, I commit myself never to be silent, never to be passive, never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement and never to stop defending life until all my brothers and sisters are protected, and our nation once again becomes a nation with liberty and justice, not just for some, but for all, through Christ our Lord. Amen!
