Welcome to Our Respect Life Website

 

We have a small group but warmly welcome new members.  We will be meeting the 1st. Monday of each month.   Darla Quail has graciously agreed to chair this committee with Father David Schalk as our spiritual advisor.  We will be working with other parishes from the Central Ohio area and also keep up to date with The Greater Columbus Right To Life Organization. 

 

 

Our Mission Statement

 

The Respect Life Program is sponsored by the Catholic Bishops of the United States.  Its goals are as follows:

 

  • to proclaim sanctify and value human life as a gift from God and the foundation of human dignity.\
  • to oppose and ultimately do away with all that destroys or endangers human life.
  • to support or encourage the development of whatever sustains, nourishes, or provides for the proper enjoyment of life.
  • to place emphasis on and create advocacy for whatever meets particular needs of families and individuals.

Prayer, Scripture Reading & Meditation For Respect Life

 

Psalm 139:13-16

You, Lord, have made all the delicate, inner parts of my body; You fabricated them in my mother's womb. I praise you for making me so wonderfully. I marvel at your workmanship. You were there while I was being formed in seclusion! You saw my substance while it was yet imperfect, and you registered in a book all my members and the days of their development. You recorded this even before my members were formed.
