Respect Life Leaders at Parishes
The parish respect life committee assists in a special way by helping to make the parish a center of life, a place where parishioners understand the issues and the importance of meeting the needs of those who are most vulnerable—especially mothers and their unborn children, the elderly, and those who are seriously ill or dying and their families. It may be a distinct committee, or it might be a subcommittee of another parish organization.
