Sacred Heart Respect Life Committee
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you." – Jeremiah 1:5
The Respect Life Committee is Sacred Heart Parish's pro-life, pro-family organization committed to the sanctity of all human life from natural conception to natural death by promoting the teaching of the Catholic Church through education, outreach, and prayer. We are a very active and passionate group, and people of all ages are invited to join our events and activities where we spread respect for the sacredness of every human life!
Holy Hour for Life during Eucharistic Adoration —
First Fridays, 4:00 – 5:00 PM
We pray and sing for life every month while adoring our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
Rosary Walk —
First Saturdays, 10:00 AM
With the Legion of Mary, we process behind a statue of Our Lady of Fatima and pray the Rosary for respect for life, peace in our world, and special prayer intentions.
Spiritual Adoption
Each October we invite parishioners to "spiritually adopt" a precious preborn baby by praying for the child every day for nine months. We display posters at church showing the miraculous development in the womb and organize collections of baby supplies for local pro-life pregnancy centers.
Outreach at FutureCare Cherrywood Nursing Home
We visit and sing with the residents every month (during normal times; we can't wait to return in person!) and share Christ's love by making and delivering cards/pictures for them throughout the year.
Rosary for Life and Planning Meetings
We meet virtually (during COVID) for prayer and planning on the third Tuesday of each month from 6:30 – 8:00 PM.
