Respect Life Minstry

The Respect Life ministry is dedicated to transforming today’s culture of death into a culture of life. Issues include the beginning of life, end of life, and capital punishment. We follow the Catholic tradition of prayer, study/education and action, including pastoral care and legislative advocacy on the parish, diocesan, state and national levels.

Pope John Paul II’s encyclical “The Gospel of Life” provides our hope and inspiration.

Do you have a heart for pro-life, and a bit of time to devote to it? St. Martha Parish is looking for a new Respect Life volunteer to coordinate parish activities to promote a greater respect for all human life. You also will be a liaison with other parish groups and the Diocese. To learn more, contact Fr. Patrick or Sara Brinn at the Parish Office. For more information on a Diocesan level, you can visit the Diocese of Venice Office of Respect Life.
