Respect Life Ministry

"Only with prayer—prayer that storms the heavens for justice and mercy, prayer that cleanses
our hearts and souls—will the culture of death that surrounds us today be replaced with a culture of life."

--
U.S. Catholic Bishops


Sponsored by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Respect Life Ministry helps Catholics understand, value, and become engaged with building a culture that cherishes every human life. Through prayer, pastoral care, education, and legislative action we can build a culture of life.

Prayer – Respect Life liturgies throughout the year, prayer chains, rosaries for the unborn, 40 Days for Life campaign

Pastoral care – Pregnancy information and assistance, post abortion healing, financial support for a local pregnancy clinic

Education – Catholic Social teaching, end of life, Catholic sexuality and chastity for teens, pregnancy resources, adoption, faithful citizenship

Legislative action – legislative alerts in coordination with the USCCB, the Maryland Catholic Conference, and Maryland Right to Life
