Helping our parish value, protect, and care for every human life.
The Life Matters ministry helps St. Patrick’s be a place where every human life is valued—from the beginning of life to the end. We seek to build a culture of life by praying, learning, and taking action on issues that affect the most vulnerable among us.
We especially support mothers and their unborn children, as well as people who are elderly, disabled, seriously ill, or nearing the end of life. We believe every person has God-given dignity and deserves to be treated with love, compassion, and respect.
Through prayer, education, and participation, Life Matters gives parishioners opportunities to learn about important life issues and put their faith into action.
Some of our activities include:
- Respect Life Weekend each October
- Annual Pro-Life Banquet supporting local non-profits – RSVP HERE FOR THE 2026 DARKNESS INTO LIGHT BANQUET
- March for Life local and national
- Rosary Rally and prayer for an end to abortion
- Educational opportunities on current life issues
- Sharing information about legislation and ways to make a difference
Together, we strive to make St. Patrick’s a parish where every life matters, every person is valued, and our faith moves us to action.

Every day in the USA 3,400 babies are killed and 6,800 parents are wounded. Pray to end abortion!
