“We are called to create a society capable of recognizing the dignity of every person and sharing the gift that each person is to the other” –Pope Francis

This important pillar of the Catholic Church emphasizes our call at Catholics to respect, love, and protect every phase of life.

See Life Chain, Baby Shower or Mother's Day / Father's Day for more information.

Across the U.S. and Canada, hundreds of thousands of participants will silently stand in peaceful, prayerful witness to their commitment to love and protect the preborn and their mothers.  WILL YOU STAND WITH US?  Gather family, friends, and fellow church members to join LIFE CHAIN.  Signs will be provided for participants.  Add your name to the sign-up sheet in the back of church and join us on October 7th as we pray, asking God to end the scourge of abortion that has taken more than 58 million innocent lives in America since 1973.  Holy Family’s location again this year is Grand River and Novi Road.  Please JOIN us…your witness really can make a difference!

For more information, contact Gloria Pantuso (248) 756-6282 – Respect for Life (sub-committee of Christian Service Social Ministries).

“Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want.  This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion…And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?”   St. Teresa of Calcutta
