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!

1 Thessalonians 16-17 "Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing."
The Legion of Mary and the Respect Life Committee invite you to a rosary walk. We will meet in front of the Little Church and then 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 One Month Old Spiritually Adopted Baby:
Thank you for praying for me. I am one month old now. I have a heart pumping my blood and a backbone. I am very, very tiny, and I appreciate your prayers.
Love,
Your Spiritually Adopted Baby

Your spiritually adopted baby is already 10,000 times bigger than at conception. The baby has developed the foundations of the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system by day 20. Your baby's heart began to beat at day 21. The baby's blood type can be different from his/her mother's! Pray that the the Lord of Life might move the heart of his mother to give him the most precious gift of all: the gift of life.

Thank you for praying for your spiritually adopted babies and the mothers who visit the Center for Pregnancy Concerns. Let us pray without ceasing that everyone will respect the sacred gift of life from conception to natural death.

The Holy Innocents Ministry also offers a Memorial Vespers Service annually each fall for families who have experienced miscarriage. For more information, call 410-547-3142 or email [email protected].
