Third Friday of Each Month – Rosary for Life
As part of the Priests for Life project we gather after the 9 AM Mass and carpool to the Planned Parenthood Center in Warminster for the “Rosary for Life”. Lives really are saved there - babies and their mothers. Please come to support them and to pray for the closing of this clinic.

September 7, 2008 – Adopt-A-Baby Kickoff
We begin our “Adopt-A-Baby” program. You are asked to “spiritually adopt” one unknown, unborn baby in danger of being aborted and pray daily that  this baby will be carried to term and experience the fullness of life given to them by our Heavenly Father. In May we will be celebrating the “birth” of your spiritually adopted baby with a baby shower.  All baby shower gifts are donated to the Blessed Margaret Costello Crisis Pregnancy Center in Bensalem.

October 5, 2008 - Respect Life Sunday
The first Sunday of October, “Respect Life Sunday” begins anew the Respect Life program. The USCCB, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, began this successful educational program in October, 1972. That year, and each succeeding year, the bishops have focused on many critical “respect life” concerns of the day. The Respect Life Committee gratefully accepts donations after Mass to support this ministry.

November 23, 2008 – Stand Up for Life Dinner
We hope that you will join the 80+ parishioners and 1500 attendees for the annual “Stand Up for Life Dinner” held at the Sheraton City Center Hotel, Philadelphia. This is a wonderful evening of inspiration as we reflect on our mission to bring about a culture of life. This year’s guest speaker will be Dr. Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King.

Month of January 2009 – Diaper Drive
In observance of the anniversary of Roe v. Wade the Respect Life Ministry holds our annual “Diaper Drive”. The diapers are donated to the Blessed Margaret Costello Crisis Pregnancy Center in Bensalem.



January 22, 2009 – March for Life
We hope that you will join our 100+ parishioners in Washington D.C. for the annual “March for Life” marking the anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade” Supreme Court Ruling legalizing abortion through all 9 months of pregnancy. This march is a peaceful demonstration to bear witness to the dignity of human life from conception to a natural death. 

Month of May 2009 – “Adopt-A-Baby” Baby Shower
