Respect Life Ministry

2018 Theme: Every Life Cherished
Respect Life Month is during the month of October in the United States. Learn more about the sacredness of human life and participate in events which help foster a deep commitment to defend and protect ALL human life - from the moment of conception to natural death.

The 2018-19 Respect Life Program resources have
been developed to assist you in helping Catholics
understand, value, and become engaged with
building a culture that cherishes every human life.
A variety of materials are available to order in
print or to download online!

Christians throughout the Houston Metropolitan area are invited to take part in the International 40 Days for Life effort Sept. 26 though Nov. 4. In addition to 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion in America, please consider volunteering to pray outside of the Planned Parenthood abortion facility at 4600 Gulf Freeway for one or more hours on Tuesday, Oct. 30, the day that Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church has taken and then spread the word to others about this important life-saving effort!

When people are present in prayer at the abortion site, through the Grace of God, hearts are changed and lives are saved.

The Respect Life Ministry brings awareness and educates our parish in all aspects of life. The Respect Life Ministry promotes a reverence for human life in all stages. Members of this ministry are involved in activities that range from educating the public about abortion and opposing its practice in the medical field to honoring and supporting the elderly in our parish. Individuals and couples who join this ministry are asked to commit a few hours of their time every two to three months.

The Respect Life Committee meets on an as needed basis. Refer to the calendar for updates. The committee discusses parish activities and gives updates on events around the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. All are welcome to attend. No training is required, but due to some of the topics discussed, membership is limited to adults and mature teens.
