The Respect Life Committee is Sacred Heart Parish's pro-life, pro-family organization committed to the sanctity of all human life from natural conception to natural death by promoting the teaching of the Catholic Church through education, outreach, and prayer.

We are a very active and passionate group, and people of all ages are invited to join our events and activities where we spread respect for the sacredness of every human life!

Holy Hour for Life - Friday, April 10 - 4:00—5:00 PM in the Little Church
We invite people of all ages to adore our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, sing songs of praise, listen to teens and children read prayers/scripture verses, and pray all will respect the sanctity of life from natural conception to natural death.

Rosary Walk - Saturday, April 11
10:00 AM in front of the Little Church 
We will meet in front of the  Little Church at 10:00 AM, and then we will pray a rosary and sing hymns to our Blessed Mother as we process behind a banner of Our Lady of Fatima while walking through the neighborhoods by our church. We pray all will respect the sacred gift of life from natural conception to natural death, for peace in our world, and special intentions.

Message from your Six Month Old Spiritually Adopted Baby
I’m sitting up straight now!” Thank you for your prayers! I’m 6 months old now. I just opened my eyes - Before today they were sealed shut for protection. I wonder what you look like. I can hear sounds, too! It’s great to have someone praying for me. 
Love, 
your spiritually adopted baby
 
We are now at the end of the second trimester! Your spiritually adopted baby now weighs almost two pounds. She sits up straight now to accommodate her internal organs which have moved into their final place in her little body. Babies born prematurely at this time have a very good chance of surviving. Thank you for your prayers! Your spiritually adopted baby is developing quite beautifully now. Her weight is approaching 2 pounds. She sits up straight now to accommodate her internal organs which have moved into their final place in her little body. Babies born prematurely at this time have a very good chance of surviving. The medical advances in caring for extremely small newborn infants are extraordinary indeed.   Please don’t forget to pray for your baby. Abortion is legal through all nine months and her mom might still feel pressure to abort.
Thank you for praying for me!
Love, 
Your Spiritually Adopted Baby
