About Life Ministry
As a Catholic faith community we are obligated to uphold the dignity and right to life of each person, from the moment of conception to natural death. After years of a hostile political climate and culture of violence, our fortitude and resolve have been severely tested. Let us see how we as a parish community can stand united with the universal Church and others who share these values, and find ways to effectively advance the “Gospel of Life”. Please pray, consider positive action that we can take, and watch for new opportunities to become more involved with this ministry. |
Calendar of Events
Join us each Tuesday morning at 10:00 a.m. to pray the rosary at Planned Parenthood at 140 N. Litchfield Road

ART AND ENVIRONMENT
|
These ministers work as a
team to create an atmosphere of beauty that supports prayerful worship.
Their work helps to make clear the differences in the liturgical seasons
and to focus the attention of the assembly on various aspects of the
mystery of salvation. These team members often call upon additional
volunteers to carry our major seasonal decoration projects.
