| Our Lady of Lourdes Respect Life education seeks to actively promote
renewed respect for the sanctity and dignity of human life. It is
our prayer and hope to reach out with love and charity to the community,
our parish family, and the individual human heart. We will:
†Support
organizations that provide assistance to: women in crisis pregnancies and those
who are seriously ill or dying and their families. Work earnestly in our public
life to bring about a cultural transformation in our laws and institutions in
ways that defend a culture of life. †Advance
pro-life positions within the parish community and deepen the respect and understanding
for the rights of those who are unborn, seriously ill, or otherwise vulnerable.
†Promote communal and individual prayer that
storms the heavens for justice and mercy forming zealous men and women who are
prepared to defend The Gospel of Life.
‘May
the "people of life" constantly grow
in number and may a new culture
of love and
solidarity develop for the true good of the
whole of human
society.'
-Pope John Paul II,
