Respect Life Coordinator needed.

Our Respect Life ministry is dedicated to defending

human life from conception to natural death. We are in

need of someone who will lead and organize others to

strengthen and encourage life affirming attitudes in the

parish and community through prayer and education.

As a leader of this ministry, you give public witness to

the sanctity of life and foster awareness of threats

against the lives of the innocent unborn, dependent

disabled, and the elderly.

For more information contact the Parish Office.
