The Annual Gospel of Life Appeal will take place on Respect Life Weekend on October and 5^th and 6^th during all Sunday weekend masses. The goal of this annual appeal is to collect funds so that the Office for Respect Life Ministries can continue its mission to uphold the right-to-life of all people from its conception to its natural death. Hope you had the opportunity to watch the inspiring message from Bishop Dolan supporting this valuable mission.

The funds collected from the appeal have been split and used for two different purposes:

1. Parish respect life activities: 1/3 of the funds collected at a parish will remain with the parish and are to be used for parish Respect Life activities at the pastor’s discretion.
2. Diocesan educational projects: 2/3 of the funds will support the work of the Diocesan Office of Respect Life Ministries as they educate Catholics on pro-life issues and mobilize them to take action in their community.

Any donations received via on-line after October 31st will stay in the Diocesan Office for Respect Life Ministries.

For more information about the Gospel of Life Appeal, please contact Marina Salvador-Velázquez, Manager, Office of Respect Life Ministries at msalvador@dphx.org or by telephone at 602-354-2017.

If parishioners are unable to give to this cause during Mass, we encourage them to donate online.
