Respect Life Ministry

The Respect Life Ministry brings awareness and educates our parish in all aspects of life. It promotes 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.

The Respect Life Committee meets on an as-needed basis. 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.

For more information, contact Kerry Chu at RespectLife@ctrcc.com.

About the presenter
Taylor Martinez, the founder of the non-profit Kay's Keeper, developed personal ties with the dark world of sex trafficking when her Aunt "Kay" went missing in Las Vegas. After being presumed deceased, it was determined that Kay was sex trafficked and had likely been buried under a Jane Doe. After learning about her aunt's demise, Taylor made it her mission to reach as many women as possible, who had become victims of sex trafficking. In her 6 years in the industry, Taylor's accomplishments have been a product of her dedication and passion.

In 2016 she founded the Northwest chapter of Elijah Rising, an anti-sex trafficking organization made up of volunteers that do monthly "outreach", organizing phone banks and taking to the streets offering support to the women. In 2019, while working with Rescue America, she guided 8 women to safety in 12 hours, bringing the number of women rescued that year to 147. She has worked closely with the Houston Police Department and has been invited to put on presentations at numerous churches, universities, and middle and high schools in an attempt to raise awareness of the signs to look for in traffickers.
