Respect Life Ministry

The Respect Life Ministry is committed to the preservation of all human life through promotion of the dignity and sanctity of all life. It provides education and information regarding life issues from conception to natural death and the quality of life each individual deserves to receive.

"We proclaim that human life is a precious gift from God; that each person who receives this gift has responsibilities toward God, self and others; and that society, through its laws and social institutions, must protect and nurture human life at every stage of its existence." — U.S. Catholic Bishops, Pastoral Plan for Pro Life Activities.

40 Days for Life is a volunteer based prayer campaign that draws attention to the injustice of abortion through three simple avenues: prayer and fasting, community outreach and education, and constant peaceful vigil.

St. Ignatius is participating in the 40 Churches for 40 Days during the 40 days for Life Campaign. In addition to our usual individual signups, St. Ignatius has volunteered to cover one day from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Planned Parenthood on Friday, February 28, 2020. At 9:15 a.m., Fr. Karl and Deacon Zach will be leading us in praying the rosary. To see what other time slots are available, please click here. 

Nothing is so important as human life, as the human person... Jesus says that whatever is done to them he takes as done to him. That bloodshed, those deaths are beyond all politics: They touch the very heart of God."

— St. Óscar Romero, Martyr for the Faith
