Our goal is to build a culture of life within our parish family and our local community by witnessing to the Gospel of Life through action, education, and prayer.
We have representation from the parish at annual marches, local pro-life events, and regional Respect Life meetings. We encourage all to follow information shared by local advocacy groups and the Archdiocese of Cincinnati to stay informed about local and national issues related to all respect life topics. Respect Life encourages participation in legislative action by petitioning lawmakers on the local, state, and federal level to promote a culture of life.
We partner with Elizabeth's New Life Center/Women's Center - Lebanon to provide monetary and material donations through various collections throughout the year. Additionally, our group sponsors an hour at the abortion clinic in Kettering during the 40 Days of Life campaign in the Spring and Fall.
We visit the elderly and spend time in fellowship with them to let them know that their lives matter. We are looking for ways to expand our ministry and to do more to highlight the importance of all respect life issues, including, but not limited to:
Abortion and Abortion Healing
Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia
Beginning Life Issues
Bioethical Issues
Capital Punishment
End of Life Issues
Human Trafficking
Racism
