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, July 17
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, July 18
10:00 AM in front of the Little Church 
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.

Rosary for Life - Tuesday, July 21
We invite you to pray a virtual rosary for life from 6:30 PM - 7:00 PM. May we unite in praying all will respect the sacred gift of life from natural conception to natural death. If you are able to join us, please email Denise Blair-Nellies at [email protected], by July 20, so she can send the zoom line to your email, or call Denise at 443-547-4634 for more information.

Happy Birthday to Your Spiritually Adopted Baby
“See, upon the palms of my hands I have written your name…”. Isaiah 49:16

“Here I am!”  It’s my birthday!  Thank you so much for all of your prayers!  Because you prayed for me, I got the best of all gifts: Life!

End of 9 months: Your spiritually adopted baby was born this month — nine months after his mother conceived him.   The only change at birth is a change in the external life support system of the baby.  Your spiritually adopted baby is no different now than he was before birth except that now your baby breathes and eats differently.  Your baby is a true a miracle.  Your spiritually adopted baby began as a 46- chromosome cell and has grown over the past nine months into this unique human baby we now can see.   Never before in history, nor ever again, will anyone exist who is exactly like your spiritually adopted baby.   Your prayers saved his life.  Please continue to pray that all will respect the sanctity of life from conception to natural life.  
 
 Love,
Your Spiritually Adopted Baby
