Mission and Objectives
Mission: To act as a lay apostolate in proclaiming the Gospel of Life and in working toward implementation of the USCCB "Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities".
Objectives:
- Developing and promulgating a respect for and culture of life in Fairfield County.
- Changing hearts and minds in regard to issues of human life via educational efforts.
- Supporting post-abortion healing and reconciliation, pregnancy advisory services and adoption.
Who We Are:
We are a lay apostolate group dedicated to the idea that all human life is created in God’s image. We strongly believe that life begins at conception and continues until natural death.
Through our many projects we try raise awareness of the sanctity of humnan life, of the over 14,000 abortions performed in the State of Connecticut every year, and of loving alternatives. Our goal is to change hearts and minds, and ultimately see the 14,000 annual abortions in the State of Connecticut eliminated.
What We Do:
Our committee has several teams which support projects and events throughout the year. They include a Billboard and Media campaign, support for Rachel’s Vineyard, Birthright International of Danbury, March for Life, speakers/presentations, memorials to the unborn, and Life Chain.
The Committee also works to interface, regarding areas of respect for life, with other organizations and ministries, including the Knights of Columbus and Life Teen, and other Respect Life organizations throughout Fairfield County.
We meet in the school library at 7:00PM on the first Thursday of every month. All are welcome to join us.
