The Office of Respect Life promotes the dignity and sanctity of human life from conception to natural death through programs advocating prayer, education, pastoral care and advocacy.

The Office functions as staff to the Archdiocesan Commission for Catholic Life Issues and works to implement its programs. The Office also acts in accordance the Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities published by the Pro-Life Committee of the National Committee of Catholic Bishops in Washington DC.

It is the responsibility of the Office to foster the education of the laity and to encourage, promote and coordinate their activities regarding Life Issues.

Here in SMM parish, we reach out to those who has no voice, who deserves as much of a chance to live out this wondrous gift of Life that our Lord has given us all.
