All Life is Precious
Respect Life Mission Statement and Values:
The Respect Life Committee of the Parish of St. Joseph believes in the sanctity of all human life from conception to natural death. We promote Pro-Life awareness and support local Pregnancy Resource Centers along with other Pro-Life organizations.
Fundraisers: We hold annual fundraisers and accept financial assistance to assist in the support of our Sacred Life programs. Watch for the May Flower and Fall Caramel Sales!
How We Contribute to Creating a Culture of Sacred Life:
- Ensuring the Pro-Life education materials are available in the pamphlet rack on the information desk in the Gathering Area at the Parish Center.
- Praying the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet with Father Dufner next to the Robbinsdale Clinic, 3821 West Broadway Avenue, Robbinsdale, on Saturdays beginning at 10 AM.
- Prayer support to members of Rachel's Vineyard retreats.
- St Joseph's Respect Life group welcomes YOU to join us on the second Sunday of the month to pray the Rosary at 9:30 am, attend the 10:00 Mass and share in a short meeting after Mass in the Youth Lounge.
