Respect Life
Respecting the dignity of all human life is central to the Catholic faith. We believe in protecting life from the moment of conception through natural death.
The Church … is called to proclaim the gift of life, to serve life, and to promote a culture of life. … This is the message of hope we are called to proclaim and embody in a world where self-centeredness, greed, violence, and cynicism so often seem to choke the fragile growth of grace in people’s hearts.
Pope Benedict XVI, homily, Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral (April 19, 2008)
