MQH Respect Life Meeting

This new ministry is open to parishioners from all our churches. Meetings will be held on the 1st Saturday of the month at 10am at St. Ann in the Trinity Rooms. (Park in the back lot behind the school building.) All are welcome! No experience needed! Love in Action is one of the six pillars of the Beacons of Light initiative. The goal of Love in Action is to seek ways to recognize the human dignity of each person, created in the image and likeness of God. This demands special attention to the poor and vulnerable, including the unborn and their parents, the stranger, the elderly, sick, imprisoned, marginalized, persons with disabilities, and persons of all ethnicities and cultures. Among our parish family, there are several ministries who host events to support one or more of these above listed groups. These groups include St. Vincent de Paul, Christian Outreach, Legion of Mary, L.I.F.E. Ministries, and Respect Life. As you know, one of the goals of Beacons of Light is to bring people together to form larger, more vibrant parishes. Joining forces in ministry work is a critical aspect to not only meeting this goal, but to extend our ability to help others. Over the past several months, the SVDP conferences of our family have been working collaboratively. Last week, members of St. Ann Respect Life, Christian Outreach, and St. James L.I.F.E. Ministries came together to discuss the many ways they currently provide support. Effective immediately, members of St. Ann Respect Life and St. James L.I.F.E. Ministries have formed the Mary, Queen of Heaven Respect Life Ministry.
