Respect for Life
Our Respect for Life Group follows a pattern of Organize, Study, Action. We meet each month and focus on these aspects one at a time, a month at a time, and then repeat.

Resources
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
(USCCB) is probably the most important resource to note. There are many resources out there, but the bishop's Pastoral Plan contains four major "pillars" that they have set forth as elements necessary for pro-life efforts in America. Our parish Pro-life group will be using this pastoral plan as a framework promoting life.
