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.
 
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, 3821West 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.

 

• Other local, domestic and international Respect Life causes (see below):

Come and see!  Help and pray in any way you are able.  No effort is too small.  We are a friendly group of pro-lifers and we really look forward to meeting YOU.
